Lyrics
You shouldn't have to live your life with a lie You shouldn't have to make the one you love cry You shouldn't have to lose all you hold dear You shouldn't have to live in a world full of fear IN the land of the free Power and Justice Is bartered and sold Like sliver diamonds and gold What of these laws they make us obey The poor give their blood the rich never pay William Zantzinger Kattie Harroll and the cane And it flies through the air and kills once again. IN the land of the free Power and Justice Is bartered and sold Like silver diamonds and gold And what of this Dream they sold all to you Has it put you to sleep or can u see through The smokey cloud on the grassy knoll still rings And a brother goes down along with a king.

This is one of the best folkrock songs I heard in the last years. Rogers way of telling is very special and catches the listener. Great collab guys, the drumms acompany the song just perfect. Very nice live feeling in the production.

The percussion fits Roger's vocals and lyrics perfectly - the story has a new dimension against that rhythmic backdrop. Always a fan of Roger's lyrics, they give us such a lot to think about. Great collab guys!
