They’ll Let You Freeze — And Call It Freedom

Verse 1
Dwayne lost his job, lost his toes, lost his pride
Five kids at home, got no heat inside
Winter’s clawin’ at the cracks in the floor
But Congress just walked past and slammed the door

Chorus
They’ll let you freeze — and call it freedom
Cut you down — and say it's law
Leave you broke — in the name of reason
While the billionaires toast with applause
Oh, they’ll strip your soul and call it wisdom
Feed the rich while the poor just bleed
They’ll let you freeze — and call it freedom
Cold as the heart of their greed

Verse 2
The lizard men with suits and smiles
Ain’t felt a thing in a thousand miles
No twitch of guilt, no sleepless night
Just Nietzsche quotes and budget fights

Bridge
No heat for the sick, no care for the frail
Just coal-black hearts on a gravy trail
They don’t see pain, they just see stats
And call compassion a weakness that’s
Holding back the Übermensch state
Where pity dies and cold is fate

Chorus
They’ll let you freeze — and call it freedom
Kill the poor — and preach control
Say “personal choice” as they delete ‘em
From every safety net and role
Oh, they’ll privatize your very breathing
Sell your grief for a quarterly feed
They’ll let you freeze — and call it freedom
And swear it's all that you need

Verse 3
But freedom ain’t dying in a frozen chair
While the men who cut you live on air
Freedom ain’t begging with a stump and a scar
While they race their Teslas to the stars

Final Chorus
They’ll let you freeze — and call it freedom
Say “bootstrap up” from your grave
Light cigars with your eviction notice
And call your children “welfare slaves”
Oh, but we still believe in something deeper
In a union, a vote, a seed
'Cause they may freeze our bones — but never freedom
That lives in every soul in need

Outro (spoken)
They call it freedom.
We call it war.
