The Captains of Freedom

tell me a story
one they’ll never teach in school
how the captains of freedom
made their own golden rule

tell me a story
all about this stolen land
why the so called free market
is for only one kind of man

how once we workers
became consumers
when righteous citizens
is who we’ve always been

why must we struggle
who do these billionaires think they are
tell me a story
about what property truly means

tell me a story
of corruption to the core
and how a little house on the prairie
was just another culture war

tell me a story
one we should learn in every school
like how some austrian academics
were paid political tools

how we the people
have all the power
but only when we demand
our right to organize

when will we wake up
and see these fascists for who they are
tell me a story
they can not monopolize

tell me a story
tell me a story
tell me a story

tell me a story
one we should learn in every school
how the captains of freedom
made their own golden rule

tell me a story
about the captains of freedom
the captains of freedom

tell me a story
tell me a story
tell me a story
