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
