F - Anthem Lyrics
A nation stands with heart in hand
To sing their anthem proudly
Voices raised to sing their praise
Of their hollow country
All this talk of freedom
And some talk of liberty
From your plastic podium
You try and convince me
I can't fall anymore
For some silver-tongued song
Your freedom isn't free
So let me say what freedom means to
I can's see red, white, and blue waving in the air
I don't hear the bombs bursting and I don't even care
I'm sorry for my lack of faith
I'm not the greatest patriot
If this is all their is to freedom I don't want it
I can't fall anymore
For some silver-tongued song
Your freedom isn't free
So let me say what freedom means to
Pushing us a drug that you call freedom and democracy
Promise us that selfishness is the means for happiness
I burned that bridge so long ago that I can hardly see
Anything but solace in what freedom means to me
I can't fall anymore
For some silver-tongued song
Freedom isn't free
So let me say what freedom means to
It cannot mean to serve ourselves
That doesn't mean a thing
It doesn't mean to give the license
To seek ourselves in anything
That would be slavery to ourselves it isn't free
Jesus Christ, the only thing that freedom means to me.
F - Anthem Lyrics
And I found my soul,
when every feeling has been crushed by your world,
and you know, I'll find,
my purity inside is all that's mine. You make me feel what you feel,
I will become you 'cause you know what's real,
and I'll see what you see,
you'll never be me 'cause I've found my soul. [repeat 1st verse]
F - Anthem Lyrics
this is the anthem of the handsome ransom...
we didn't want to cause any trouble
we just wanted them to listen to the band,
so we gave 'em a fax that said:
we have hidden a bomb in your womens toilet
if you wanna prevent the desaster
come to the club
on the 25th to see us, but they came not
we paid 500 marks for that
some people never heard anything 'bout jokes
this is the anthem of the handsome ransom...
hello Hartwig!
we've got the tapes of your new, fantastic band
so if you want them back
you gotta place 50.000 bucks in
the womens toilet of the Teldec,
you know,
otherwise you won't hear your band again
cause we will erase everything
come on Hartwig
come on
come on...
this is the anthem of the handsome ransom...
we thought musics got
something to do with instruments and feelings
this is not the truth!
lawyers and money that is what counts
we sat in a boat with sharks all around us
we've tried to get rid off 'em
but when they smell money
you can't hold 'em back
so we've invented our own kind of kidnapping
we're kidnapping ourselves
and you pay the ransom
that sounds good, ha
that sounds good...
this is the anthem of the handsome ransom...
that sounds good...
this was the anthem
F - Anthem Lyrics
I will stand my ground,
wont be pushed around,
I'll never give it up to you!
I will stake my claim,
Won't burn in the flames,
I'll never give it up to you!
Chorus: Say it loud now,
want no part of you!
And these foolish games,
that you play!
Now I won't fall down,
toe to toe, and pound for pound,
I'll never give it up to you!
God has planted a seed,
and I have made my creed,
I'll never give it up to you!
I will fight to the end,
you'll never hurt me again,
Cause I'll never give it up to you!
my Savior died for me,
that's when He set me free,
now I'll never give that up to you!
