Land of the Free
Die Warzau Lyrics

Free in the land of the free
Despite everything, we still have some sense of freedom in this country

Free in the land of the free
There's still enough freedom in this country that we can celebrate it

I'd like to own a mountain
There are things that are incredibly beautiful and powerful that we would like to have some of that power over

It moves me like a hurricane
This beauty and power is overwhelming, which is part of why we want it

Why you see me as the enemy
People see him as something to be feared or avoided because of his status, looks, or interests, etc.

While I'd like to be an angel
Despite this fear others have of him, deep down he wants to be something pure and good, something that others could see as angelic

I'd like to meet the President
The President represents a symbol of the ultimate power in this country and he would love to be able to speak to that power

He moves me like a hurricane
Just as the power of the mountain is a beautiful sight to behold, so too is the power of the President

Why you see him as a murderer
Others see the President as responsible for actions that lead to harm or death, whether that's true or not, simply because he holds so much power

Well, that depends on the color of your skin
The apparent morality of those in power is determined by those who feel its effects, which can vary based on a multitude of factors

Got to have devotion
If you want to succeed in this country, you need to have a lot of dedication and commitment

To meet the man in the Sasquatch suit
Even the most unlikely or absurd things might be necessary for achieving your goals

Pure white face, white, white skin
The ideal of beauty and goodness in this country is closely tied to being pale-skinned

These are the keys to freedom
The characteristics of the ideal American citizen, as based on their appearance, are seen as the things that will ultimately lead you to success and happiness

I'd like to tell the children
It is an important responsibility for adults to help children understand why things are the way they are

Why they starve and why they die
There are people in this country who are suffering greatly, and it is important for children to understand that this is not a natural or inevitable state of being

Why the man in the mansion
The wealthy and powerful people in this country often have access to things that those who are struggling do not, even though they could make a difference in the lives of others

Gives them the dirt and him the sky
The divide between the haves and the have-nots in America is so great that the difference between living a life of comfort or one of misery can be based on something as simple as who owns the land you live on

? the people
When we are ruled by those who are willing to use violence to ensure their power, it can be difficult to understand why we allow it to happen

When the hand the kills is the hand that guides?
It seems counterintuitive that those who are responsible for enacting violence are the same ones that we trust to keep things under control

Why are we the chosen
It often feels like fate or luck is what determines who gets to live a life of freedom and security, and who must suffer

When the one who speaks is the one who dies?
When those who speak out against injustice are the same ones who are most at risk for retaliation or punishment, it can seem like there is little anyone can do to change the status quo

Free, free
Repeating this word emphasizes again how important our sense of freedom is

Free in the land of the free
This song rests on the idea that, despite everything that is wrong with this country, we still hold tightly to the things that make us proud to be American
