[Intro: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.] …all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands… [Verse 1: Timid] To let freedom ring true in the ears of every man Woman and child it's time to take a stand Because the plan don't include you and I There's truth in lies like what Bush describes As the terrorists being jealous of our liberty Ask the middle east is the enemy them or we You foretell in your tales of democracy Mr. President it's evident to me it's hypocrisy The green eyes that I see eyes the green and black gold The facts told, you're that bold you're that cold Let freedom ring true in honor of victims That died innocent in a quest for another's riches 9/11 was who*ed as leverage to force the message Of your agenda by fear to legitimize your methods Your pride is senseless and your lies are endless We're tied bound and gagged and our lives defenseless Even minds are rendered useless of all reason Recount your own actions and speak to me of treason The Patriot Act, call it the Bin Laden Initiative Citizens get treated like the Taliban did them Or Redcoats did pilgrims in the name of England Independent thoughts lead unsatisfied men Skull and Bones marks the mantle of danger Redirecting our anger to shadows and distant strangers [Hook: Timid] Let Freedom Ring From the slums to the ears of God Let Freedom Ring From the babes in their mothers arms Let Freedom Ring From Iraq Israel Let Freedom Ring From America before we sell Let Freedom Ring From Tibet to Africa Let Freedom Ring From China to North Korea Let Freedom Ring From the Bible to the Holy Koran Let Freedom Ring From life before we take up arms [Verse 2: Timid] The revolution will be televised Because when I get a chance to tell them lies I'm going on the television to tell a vision Channel 0's the only place the people will listen Islam you call a Jihad to settle a score I understand your pain by holy men don't war And Allah or God don't want no blood on their name Especially innocents whose lives you take in vain Cradle of civilization? Dome of the rock, to say the least If that's the case, no wonder there's no peace From the Potala in Lhasa to Beijing's Red Square Picture monks staring down gun barrels full of fear Let us be clear, all men are created equal But nurture has a way of turning the people evil China took lessons from the British and communists Now Taiwan is a target for imperial dominance Give us us free from Pyonyang to the Sudan Freedom to have the peace in our lives that we should have Freedom from your greed at our expense Freedom from you getting ahead by putting our lives at risk Freedom for me to practice Falun Gong in peace And not have children tortured to make me cease Freedom from prejudices forced against my people Freedom to walk among my brethren and fear no evil [Hook: Timid] Let Freedom Ring (repeat)
