They say I was born in the lend of the free.
But the home of the briefcase is all I can see.
With our houses and highways, we've covered the land,
But our freedom's a fable, if our conscience is banned.
So I'm going to prison so I can be free!
I'm going to prison for what I believe.
I've got something I'll die for,
What else can they do?
I've got something to live for,
And how about you?
From the Bureau of Justice the directives have come
To send out the G-men, round up everyone
Who puts human beings ahead of the state,
And who's preaching that love is better than hate.
So I'm going to prison so I can be free!
I'm going to prison for what I believe.
I've got something I'll die for,
What else can they do?
I've got something to live for,
And how about you?
Some call me a coward, some call me e fool.
The Daily News calls me a communist tool.
But I know you're my buddy, so you'lI understand
I’ll be true to myself, or I can’t be e men.
So I'm going to prison so I can be free!
I'm going to prison for what I believe.
I've got something I'll die for,
What else can they do?
I've got something to live for,
And how about you?
