The Liberty Chant

• Artist: cooll666725
• Description: This is a song that I wrote about our country and my political beliefs. I'm a libertarian, so I get stepped on by both major parties and rarely does anything that I want done get done. I wrote this to share some of my beliefs. To be a Libertarian means that I believe in free market economy with no government intervention or regulation, but I also believe in the rights of homosexuals, and any other group that is looked down upon.

The Liberty Chant


I love this country
Oh God, Don’t you know
It was founded freely
And, I wish it stayed so

I know there was bad
Back when we started
But I can live with that
Because what from we parted

We left freedom back in the ditch
We parted from liberty to be the “b***h”
Of the world around us to which we bow
We all forgot the homeland and its wow
We forgot the fights to which we won
We forgot how to be the country of love
We no longer accept the truth of the sea
Instead we pollute and throw “s**t” into thee
I think we’ve come to be what we are
Simply because we went too far
Progress is good in some areas of life
Where it is bad is where it destroys our rights
We were meant to be a country of trust and love
But what we became was a country of blood
We were meant to be a country that is free
But, when we wanted security we gave up liberty

I think we can rewind
I think we could stop
All of the bad
That we have done

What we really need
Is hope to be free
The trust that we had
Then will come back to be

We left freedom back in the ditch
We parted from liberty to be the “b***h”
Of the world around us to which we bow
We all forgot the homeland and its wow
We forgot the fights to which we won
We forgot how to be the country of love
We no longer accept the truth of the sea
Instead we pollute and throw “s**t” into thee
I think we’ve come to be what we are
Simply because we went too far
Progress is good in some areas of life
Where it is bad is where it destroys our rights
We were meant to be a country of trust and love
But what we became was a country of blood
We were meant to be a country that is free
But, when we wanted security we gave up liberty

What we need now
Is to keep the good things
The things that we love
And, do with our property

We need to keep
Discrimination illegal
When we don’t
We open the doors to evil

We left freedom back in the ditch
We parted from liberty to be the “b***h”
Of the world around us to which we bow
We all forgot the homeland and its wow
We forgot the fights to which we won
We forgot how to be the country of love
We no longer accept the truth of the sea
Instead we pollute and throw “s**t” into thee
I think we’ve come to be what we are
Simply because we went too far
Progress is good in some areas of life
Where it is bad is where it destroys our rights
We were meant to be a country of trust and love
But what we became was a country of blood
We were meant to be a country that is free
But, when we wanted security we gave up liberty

Security is good is what they think
Security is good I know it helps me
What if the truth was instead
Trading security for liberty will end in death

The government will grow
The individual will go
All that will be left
Is the plain old society

We will all be one
All will have to conform
And, if you don’t
You aren’t the norm

That is the way
That it will be
Once you give up
Your liberties

We left freedom back in the ditch
We parted from liberty to be the “b***h”
Of the world around us to which we bow
We all forgot the homeland and its wow
We forgot the fights to which we won
We forgot how to be the country of love
We no longer accept the truth of the sea
Instead we pollute and throw “s**t” into thee
I think we’ve come to be what we are
Simply because we went too far
Progress is good in some areas of life
Where it is bad is where it destroys our rights
We were meant to be a country of trust and love
But what we became was a country of blood
We were meant to be a country that is free
But, when we wanted security we gave up liberty

Take back what you’ve lost
Tell them you don’t care
Tell them you want
Them to be fair

Take back you freedom
Take back the pride
Take back the country
For which our grandfathers died

Don’t let them win
Don’t let them shut you up
You have a voice
And freedom won’t back up

Show them what is good
Show them what is bad
Don’t let them teach you
You already know their lands

That took us where we are
It left us in this drought
The place where freedom wanes
And we pout in doubt

This country still is great
This country can still bend
For freedom shout your chants
For freedom we will win

Shout, Liberty, come back!
Please hear my humble call!
Liberty we need you!
Without you we will fall…

We want our lands
We want liberty
We want our lands
And freedom to property

We left freedom back in the ditch
We parted from liberty to be the “b***h”
Of the world around us to which we bow
We all forgot the homeland and its wow
We forgot the fights to which we won
We forgot how to be the country of love
We no longer accept the truth of the sea
Instead we pollute and throw “s**t” into thee
I think we’ve come to be what we are
Simply because we went too far
Progress is good in some areas of life
Where it is bad is where it destroys our rights
We were meant to be a country of trust and love
But what we became was a country of blood
We were meant to be a country that is free
But, when we wanted security we gave up liberty

I like the thought that you put into it and the ideas expressed - I'm an Objectivist, which is usually put under "Libertarian" - and, although it needs some work, it was well written. Better than almost anything else around.

oh also when you say something is a song it might also help if you state what style of music, you know rock, pop, ect

[Baby Calie]

I like the thoughts but for a song it doesn't work, it sounds more like a poem that still needs a little work on it's flow.

[PetitEspoir]

this sounds good, do you have a tune? I would love to know it.

I read this first part but I was too lazy to read the rest XD. I don't know how the word "thee" would sound in a song O_o
