[Lyric] Is It Free? (The LaFontaines)

(Verse 1: Kerr)
Over and under
Back with the thunder
Give me a lover
But don’t touch the bag

Land of the thieves
Hot, 100 degrees
With dirt up on his sleeves
You can show me what you’re running from

Screaming for god
Like fuck asking a fraud
There’s nothing a would applaud
Take his jaw from left to right

Throw me in a cage
I’m worth minimum wage
I’ve been searching for days
And every position is out of reach
You punch the time clock, line up like livestock
Dance for TikTok – take a second to look at yourself
Left or right views, all of it fake news
When violence ensues, they’ll be riots on the streets Karen

Dive up in the soup, swallowing a scoop
Welcome to the coop, we can work you like machinery
Drink to numb pain, a gram of cocaine
You could always retrain, I hear cyber’s got some work going

I’d hold breath and choose death before I’m that fuckin’ tone deaf
Ironic I’m right when I lean left
I’ve seen death - my queen left the bees nest, open season in the wild, wild west
So we protest, shots fired with no vest, civil unrest
Nothing quite like fuckin up your own nest, homeless –
Like absent fathers with no address
See I don’t wear a cape but I’m owning my mistake

(Chorus 1: Kerr & Jamie)
I'm free
(I can’t be sold)
But never from the demons in my mind
I’ve been searching for a love I’ll never find, (so tell me is it free?)

(Verse 2: Kerr)
I’ve been vacant like a distant friend, no love to lend
I’m a cycle that will never end, I do pretend though –
Crescendo with reluctant cheer
For every mother, daughter, sister that has shed a tear, - I am the fear
I am fragile, underneath the veil
Nothing weaker than the ego on an Alpha male
If we could only climb down from the highest tower
What would it take for a man to understand his power?

But all they do is talk
I don’t wanna talk
Where’s the money at? Where’s the money at?
Give me that bag
(x4)

(Chorus 2: Kerr & Jamie)
I’m free
(I can’t be sold)
But never from the demons in my mind
I’ve been searching for a love I’ll never find, (so tell me is it free?)
(I can’t be sold)
If nothing lasts forever is it timed, only happiness I see is in rewind (so tell me is it free?)
(I can’t be sold)
Every scar I have is visible, see it through a lens find that love is only digital
(I can’t be sold)
You can tell them that I’m cynical, all I know is pain, all I ever feel is physical
