The system's got too much control, and they don't wanna let it go

I'm a prisoner fighting to be free, I'm breaking out of captivity



Be free, be free

to be free



Little by little, I'm losing control

as little by little my rights erode

I stop the deputy, now you know

mama don't try, you see I got to go



(Chorus:)



The government's got too much control,

now is there some place that we can roll

the politics of fear and oppression is everywhere now

the law is closing in, just take what you can bring



(Chorus:)



The system's got too much control,

now is there some place that we can roll

I'm a prisoner fighting to be free, the law is closing in

just take what we can bring
