Grievance

Have a drink they're buying

Bottom of, bottle of denial

Big guy, big eye, watching me

Have to wonder what it sees

Progress, laced with, ramifications

Freedom's big plunge

Pull the innocent from a crowd

Raise the sticks then bring 'em down

If they fail to obey

If they fail to obey

For every tool they lend us, a loss of independence

I pledge to my grievance to the flag

Cause you don't give blood, then take it back again

We're deserving of much more

Progress, taste it, invest-it-all

Champagne breakfast for everyone

Break the innocent when they're proud

Raise the stakes, then bring 'em down

If they fail to obey

If they fail to obey

Pledge my grievance to the flag

Aw come on, don't give blood, then take it back again

We're all deserving something more

I want to breathe, part of the seen

I want to taste, everyone I see

I want to run, when I'm up high

I want to run to the sea

I only want life to be

I just want to be

I will feel alive as long as I am free
