Liberty
No Doctors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Legs spread wide
And deep down inside
You've slept for too long!

No room in the seats
Then no room in the streets
Sit still or make way cause I'm comin' through…
Eyes tied tight
Felt like a night
What's that about the truth?

Time to be bold
Tell me what you're told
Ain't every day get a chance to play with a movin' statue…

Of all the things I've ever seen
I'll tell you what was the worst
Saw the Statue of Liberty kill a man
And I'm sure it wasn't the first

Back to sleep you go
Best do what you're told
You've been up too long!

Put in your part
At least it's a start
Wanna fight cause it's right but she's bigger than you…

Next time is the chance
Get under her pants
Baby wanna get it on?

Chip the mud off the metal




Break control from the pedal
Ain't every day get a chance to play with a movin' statue

Overall Meaning

The song "Liberty" by the band No Doctors is a political commentary on how the systems in place keep people sedated and obedient. The lyrics "Legs spread wide and deep down inside, you've slept for too long" suggest that people have been complacent for too long and have allowed themselves to be controlled. The lines "no room in the seats, then no room in the streets, sit still or make way cause I'm comin' through" reveal the frustration of the band members who are tired of the status quo and want to take action.


The chorus of the song "Back to sleep you go, best do what you're told, you've been up too long!" indicates that the powers that be want people to remain passive and will do anything to maintain the status quo. The lyrics "put in your part, at least it's a start, wanna fight cause it's right but she's bigger than you" suggests that fighting the system may seem like the right thing to do, but it's almost impossible to win against the bigger and more powerful forces.


The lines "of all the things I've ever seen, I'll tell you what was the worst, saw the Statue of Liberty kill a man, and I'm sure it wasn't the first" is a metaphor about how the American system kills the hopes and dreams of people who fight against it. Overall, the song is a call to action, urging people to break free from the systems that control them and fight for a better world.

Sad. Me and my family accepted this behavior when it got rough.
No worries. We always past the test here to advance over there while most fail the test here and and don't make it.

It is amazing just how many times we must be sacrificed before somebody tells it like it is.
Our ignorance is due to intentional miss direction of truth and our true blind faith in humanities word to us.

Nevertheless no excuses from us and while courage from brothers right now would be appreciated
Don't worry it's okay, we don't need humans to speak up for us like we're animals the World hears are cry's but ignores our pleas in the spirit for comfort of continuing to enjoy living flesh.
I and Us will continue to stand up for our family's and deal directly with God for solutions.
As for the Church it's the people not a organization or building so will just have to have this conversation with our Christian family folks on the other side.
We are not ignorant and we certainly ain't cowards. Just suffering from no love and extremely limited options.
Love to all Faiths and Humanity 🙏

Dear Creator of Love please have mercy on those that know exactly what they do.

I ask for forgiveness of my families sins and ask that since our brothers in this strange world never truly recognized us as alive.
I ask that our sins our not recognized by our maker.

♥️✌️

My goodness! My faith in the Adventist Church is being restored! I love the Lord and have loved the Body of Christ as I look forward to His soon coming, but I have had so much heartache and disappointment watching the church snore away their opportunity to shine for Christ. Today, for the first time in so many years, do I feel proud to be an SDA. Where do I sign?! I'm filled with joy amd hope for my Church, that there are still people who realize the Call on our lives. Thank you so much for putting this together so beautifully! God bless you! MARANATHA!!!

It is the same in the U.K. G.Fordham

@Kuruc Marianna In Italy there is the same situation

@Howard Loewen I am sure she thought it restored - for the future. Our present situation is very sad, but we have God who will help awakening his church. I am on the same way. Nobody here for speaking out, chatting together about any serious topic. (Hungary, East Europe)

✨Absolutely brilliant presentation✨ Thank you to all the presenters who all spoke eloquently with courage and firmness kindly 🙌 👏👏👏 Thank you for continuing the much-needed dialogue/conversation with calm dignity 💯 May God help us all to claim 1 Corinthians 15:58 [Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord] and trust that "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it" (1 Thess 5: 24, 25 -- we are praying 🙏🙏🙏)

Excellent presentation that has placed in my conscience a more determined conviction that one must be willing to die for their beliefs as the empowerment of double portions are poured into us from the Holy Spirit. More prayer, more fasting. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

So powerful! Thank you so much for this inspirational message. I am at peace and with God strength I am able to stand firmly knowing that God is bigger than all of what’s happening in this world. I think of the song that “He’s got the whole world his hands”Blessings to you all!!! 🤗❤️🙏🙏

The Way

Pastor Kelly summed up the whole situation so perfectly and Biblically. I need to listen to what he said again & take copious notes so I can commit it to memory. The Bible clearly explains what our position as God’s remnant believers should be regarding our inalienable right to liberty of conscience.
