FREEDOM TRAIN
Bend down and spread 'em folks, here comes freedom. Drink your Coca-cola and don't complain. It takes a lot of cash to lift the white man's burden. So clear the tracks for the freedom train. All aboard!
You can pay us in body bags, or burger bars, or boot camps. We can move your heroin, connive at your cocaine. We don't give a fuck how a man makes a buck. Oh, we're very broad-minded on the freedom train. All aboard!
Don't tell me that you're choking on the fumes keep your eyes on the road ahead. Don't let yourself stand in the way of progress, with this pettyfogging counting of the dead. It's a small sacrifice to make. for the greater good of all keep your hands off the brake.
Suharto and Salazar, Batista and Somoza, Marcos and Pinochet, Mobutu and Hussein, Pol Pot and Papa Doc, Amin and Noriega, rode first-class on the freedom train. All aboard!
