Damned to Be Free lyrics

Death and the shadow that it casts on life scares me little or none

People tell me of a divine right and the happy chosen one

I'm a freak cause my morals clash with others in the world

I go home while they work hard, then they same I'm wrong

There's only one place to be, while living with tragedy

If their sins affected me, I gotta be damned to be free

Freedom is responsibility, pay more than it's worth

Instincts tells us not to die, hazy myth since birth

Learn their rules, play their game, deceive yourself in haste

Turn your own brain into dust; it's not theirs to waste

There's only one place to be, while living with tragedy

Extract the nectar, burn the tree, I gotta be damned to be free

Thinking... This world it ain't so bad

Dying, It's just another fad

Working, 8 hours, that's not for me

Dying, It's just your destiny
