Lyrics for Damned to Be Free

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 the morals clash with others in my world I go home while they work hard, then they say 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 a responsibility, pay more than it's worth Feelings that tell us not to die hazing me since birth Learn their rules and 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 eight hours, that's not for me Dying it's just your destiny
