Freedom is a luxury you can't afford
When you're working minimum wage at the corner store
When little children are preyed on in their own homes
When you're working at the factory
Making parts for your radio

Freedom is a luxury

Freedom is a luxury you can't afford
When you've walked all day and your feet are sore
When it's five miles to the next grocery store
When you're slaving over 40 hrs
Slaving for your slave's wage
Freedom is a luxury

Freedom is a luxury you can't afford
When you're working minimum wage at the corner store
When you've walked all day and your feet are sore
When you're slaving at the factory
Making parts for your radio
Slaving for your slaves wage
Freedom is a luxury you can't afford

Everywhere is war
