Rolling With The Punches

     
 

Here in America we used to be free

But we traded it in for false security

Rolling with the punches

 

They tell us it’s worth it no matter the cost

It’s security’s won not the liberty’s lost

Rolling with the punches

 

Just believe in the system in our God you must trust

Either you’re one of them or either you’re one of us

Rolling with the punches

 

Yeah they tell us that we’re safe we got nothin’ to fear

But I’m afraid the boogie man is already here

Roll roll roll

Rolling with the punches

 

Better play by the rules better make no mistakes

‘Cause the eyes in the sky watch every move you make

Rolling with the punches

 

You’re video taped and your phones are tapped

And it’s for your own good and it’s a load of crap

Rolling with the punches

 

To board a plane you got to pays some dues

You got to spread your cheeks let ‘em smell your shoes

Rolling with the punches

 

Be a good little number speak not a word

Don’t you think any thoughts just be a part of the herd

Roll roll roll

Rolling with the punches

 

Well I heard some screaming and it wasn’t any joke

It was the sound of freedom going up in smoke

Rolling with the punches

 

In the modern times oh they ain’t so cool

The intelligent people are being led by the fools

Rolling with the punches

 

It’s a new world order it’s a cyin’ shame

It’s the Bill Of Rights goin’ up in flames

Rolling with the punches

 

It’s the cops are the Army and the army is the cops

I don’t know where it started pretty sure where it stops

Roll roll roll

Rolling with the punches

 

Rolling with the punches

Rolling with the punches

 

Ooo ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

 

Ooo ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

 

So we carry our papers and our photo IDs

And we choose to be chained instead of remaining free

And the way things are going though I might be wrong

Someday I could be arrested just for writing this song

Roll roll roll

Rolling with the punches

 

And should it ever happen and I do get stamped

Won't you pay me a visit in the detainment camp

I’ll be rolling with the punches

 

In the meantime I’ll continue to speak my mind

It’s the First Amendment they made it easy to find

When they were rolling with the punches

 

It’s my right of birth that I’ll defend to the death

If this is still America or whatever is left

Rolling with the punches

 

It’s my family’s home and where I choose to be

But I don’t feel so safe I don’t feel so free

Roll roll roll

Rolling with the punches

 

Rolling with the punches

Rolling with the punches

 

Ooo ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

 

Repeat
