Something of Freedom by Frank Turner
 
 
 
Intro: G
 
G                                     D
Lord save me from those with my best interests at heart
 
G                         Cadd9
Lord save me from sleeves emblazoned with hearts
 
G                    D          Em            D
From fools who place horses in front of their carts
 
C                               D
Who care less for learning than teaching
 
Em                    D            C
For they know not of what they are speaking
 
 
 
G                                  D
Yeah, you're marching in matching Che Guevara T shirts
 
G                              Cadd9
You're so damn conceited, it's starting to hurt
 
G                   D              Em              D
You were born in to freedom so you don't know it's worth
 
C                           D
And you constantly speak of solutions
 
Em           D      C
But you only repeat revolution
 
 
 
G                                  D
When you live with your parents, your ideals come cheap
 
G                             Cadd9
But what of the families with children to feed?
 
G                          D           Em             D
For the ones who've scored riches have more than they need
 
C                             D
While the rest of us think of survival
 
Em             D            C
Your money can pay for your morals
 
 
 
G D
 
G Cadd9
 
G D Em D
 
C D G
 
 
 
G                                        D
You say that for omelettes, you're gonna need to break eggs
 
G                                    Cadd9
But if you follow your logic, you're soon breaking heads
 
G             D            Em         D
To patch your polemic, you tear us to shreds
 
C                             D
You'd steal all our voices for your thunder
 
Em                 D           C
For your politics, nothing but plunder
 
 
G                                        D
And we will not be judged or be put into place
 
G                          Cadd9
As no more than members of class are of race
 
G             D            Em              D
We're free individuals and that's what you hate
 
C                      D
Our society is not a machine
 
Em                     D           C
You can steer or shut down as you please
 
 
 
 
G                                   D
And one day you'll struggle to make your ends meet
 
G                                    Cadd9
And one day you'll struggle to stand on your feet
 
G                          D           Em              D
And you'll find something true that'll make your heart beat
 
C                                 D
And you'll sacrfice something of meaning
 
Em                    D            G
And you'll understand something of freedom
