Freedom Doesnt Come For Free

Intro: D A E 

 
A 
Come all good people and gather 'round 
D                   A 
Let me tell you how it all went down 
D                            A 
When a bunch of libertarians came to town 
                  E 
To build their own utopia 
 

 
A 
They had a certain certainty 
D                         A 
Doubt never bothered 'em, no siree 
D             A 
They lived on logic and liberty 
E                     A 
In the green hills of New Hampshire 
 

 
D            A 
Live free or die trying 
E                        A 
You might get eaten by a mountain lion 
D                       A 
This old world is gonna leave you crying 
       Bm             F#m 
So live free or try to live free 
 

 
A 
They took control of the situation 
D              A 
Banned all the rules and regulations 
D                 A 
There would be no more taxation 
                  E 
In their vision of utopia 
 

 
A 
So, no one came to mend the roads 
D                      A 
Streetlights faded and the library closed 
D            A 
And when the garbage overflowed 
E          A 
Bears came sniffin' 'round 
 

 
D                        A 
Next thing folks started losing their cats 
E                         A 
Nothing in the garden but a fresh bear scat 
D                 A 
There's a certain logic in acting like that 
           Bm         F#m 
When you're top of the food chain

A 
Now there's a moral to this affair 
D                       A 
If you leave everything to laissez-faire 
D               A 
You may have to wrassle with a bear 
                     E 
In the backstreets of utopia 
 

 
A 
'Cause freedom can look like something else 
D                       A 
A place where everybody has to fend for themselves 
D                      A 
Or pretty words trying to cover the smell 
E                      A 
Of the stale stench of indifference 
 

 
D               A 
Living on logic sounds real good 
E                            A 
But people never act the way you think that they should 
D                  A 
Bears don't always shit in the woods 
           Bm               F#m 
And freedom doesn't come for free 
F#m              A 
Doesn't come for free 

D               A 
Living on logic sounds real good 
E                            A 
But people never act the way you think that they should 
D                  A 
Bears don't always shit in the woods 
           Bm               F#m 
And freedom doesn't come for free
