Freedom rider

On a midnight cruise

On my way

I got nothing to lose

Sister mercy

Gonna take my hand

Lead me over

To the promised land

But you'd better not

Set your sights on me

'Cause it just might spoil your victory

Don't you dare

Don't you tread on me

Don't you tread on me

Don't you try

And make some fool of me

Don't you dare

Don't you tread on me

We walked the gound

Of ancient ones

Lit the fire

With a rising sun

You and me

We got a full on rage

Won't ge fooled

No I won't be caged

Make love not war

Was you claim to fame

Now you're takin' me down

Well I won't be tamed

Don't you dare

Don't you tread on me

Don't you tread on me

Don't you try

And make some fool of me

Don't you tread on me

Don't you dare

Don't you tread on me

Don't you tread on me

Don't you dare forget your history

Don't you tread on me
