You can't control me tell me what to do chained in mediocrity so I can be like you I am not a statue not part of machine I'm sick and tired of the whole routine calculate your future,computerise your past instant replay if it's gone too fast take away my freedom,take away my home I'm only human but it might not show I'm not made of stone I'm a freedom fighter I got something to say I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way Hide behind your politics,hide behind your rules tell me I'm a man but you treat me like a fool it's the same old story with a different name you give us all a number and nothing changes out in the winter of a world upon it's knees everyone is watching but no one sees you can't take my freedom you know it is my right if you try and stop me I'm gonna fight with all of my might I'm a freedom fighter and I'm taking command I'm a freedom fighter and I'm making a stand Fighting for breath as the world gathers speed time's running out for the things that I need I'm a freedom fighter I gotta take a stand I'm a freedom fighter, yeah that's what I am I'm a freedom fighter I can't take it no more I'm a freedom fighter no no more I'm a freedom fighter but I'm not afraid I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way Tablature Legend ---------------- h - hammer-on p - pull-off b - bend pb - pre-bend r - bend release (if no number after the r, then release immediately)
