Stay Safe (Trading Liberty for Safety)
Good morning all yea Songsters! Decided to try out some Southern Rock on the dark outlaw side. Had to rearrange the lyric a bit to fit the music but I think it came out pretty good. Any feedback and suggestions is appreciated.

STAY SAFE (Trading Liberty for Safety)
[Intro]
Every place I go these days
People telling me to ‘stay safe’
Well, shouldn’t that go without saying?
This is what I make of it:
[Chorus]
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
Like being ruled by Stalin
Trading Liberty for‘safety’
My, how we have fallen
How far we have fallen
[Verse 1]
And the way they use children
The powers-that-wanna-be
First, they put a chip in your dog
Then they put a chip in your baby
[Chorus]
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
Like being ruled by Stalin
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
My, how we have fallen
How far we have fallen
[Verse 2]
And I hope you’re nice an’ cozy
Cozy and warm in your house
That is, if you’re not homeless
And you’re not scared as a mouse
[Chorus]
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
Like being ruled by Stalin
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
My, how we have fallen
How far we have fallen
[Verse 3]
‘Cuz the storms they got brewin’
And the cooked-up pandemics
Are designed to frighten your socks off
And it’s all about eugenics
[Chorus]
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
Like being ruled by Stalin
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
My, how we have fallen
How far we have fallen
[Verse 4]
The Forefathers have got to be
Rolling in their graves
‘Cuz Independence Day, now
Is a day for slaves
[Chorus]
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
Like being ruled by Stalin
Trading Liberty for ‘safety’
My, how we have fallen--
How far we have

I like what you have going on here, a little dark like Elvis said, but anger paranoia, and misinformation drive a lot the world.
Digging Verse 1
And the way they use children
The powers-that-wanna-be - I absolutely love this line
First, they put a chip in your dog
Then they put a chip in your baby Maybe try- They will never get a chip in me
