Grievance

Have a drink they're buying

Bottom of bottle of denial

Big guy, big eye watching me

Have to wonder what it sees

Progress laced with ramifications

Freedom's big blur

Break the innocent when they're proud

Raise those sticks them bring them down

If they fail to obey

Ah, if they fail to obey, yeah, yeah

For every tool they lend us

A loss of independence

I pledge my grievance to the flag

'Cause you don't give blood then take it back again

Oh, we're all deserving something more

Progress taste it, invest it all

Champagne breakfast for everyone

Break the innocent when they're proud

Raise those stakes then bring 'em down

If they fail to obey

Oh, if they fail to obey

I pledge my grievance to the flag

'Cause don't give blood then take it back again

Oh, we're all deserving something more

I want to breathe part of the scene

I want to taste everyone I see

I want to run when I'm up high

I want to run to the sea

I want to life to be

I just want to be

I will feel alive as long as I am free
