There's this wrecking ball,
That's coming down.
We knew all along,
there was no way out.
Now our city,
lies on the ocean floor.
Behold liberty,
we won't beg for war..
Oh and it's sad,
that we're crying out for freedom,
in the land of the free.
Things have gone all wrong,
now the law just won't let me be me....
Where's that broken smile,
I like to see?
You can do nothing wrong,
when you look at me.
Oh, but your lies,
they hurt everyone.
No one will forgive you,
for the damage done.
Oh and it's sad,
that we're crying out for freedom,
in the land of the free.
Things have gone all wrong,
now the law just won't let me be me....
and who's crying out?
I've nothing more to say.
I'm not giving up on the city,
I'm just giving up on you...
There's this wrecking ball,
that's coming down.
Doing god knows what,
to our quiet town.
Lay my words to rest,
must this city pay?
This would be much different,
if we would have my way...
Oh and it's sad,
that we're crying out for freedom,
in the land of the free.
Things have gone all wrong,
now the law just won't let me be me....
who's free?
