The Bully's Jubilee

V5

[Verse 1] He stands on the porch with a golden pin Talking ’bout freedom while he’s letting 'em in But the "free" in his speech is a sleight of hand He’s buying the water while he’s selling the sand. He calls it a market, he calls it a right To keep all the "math" buried deep out of sight. [Pre-Chorus] But a game with no ref is a game for the wolf The sheep’s in the valley, the lion’s on the bluff You call it a blessing, you call it a deal But a soul isn't something you’re licensed to steal. [Chorus] Oh, Freedom for the bully is a prison for the poor It’s a "No Entry" sign on the mercy door Without the Light, the truth is just a lie And "License" is a vulture in a "Liberty" sky. Love God, love your neighbor, or the center won't hold You can’t build a kingdom on predatory gold. [Verse 2] The fine print is whispering a permanent debt A trap for the desperate that hasn't closed yet He hides behind slogans and a Sunday suit But you judge a tree by the taste of the fruit. He wants his "unrestrained" and he wants his "unbound" While his neighbor is gasping, pinned to the ground. [Bridge] Transparency’s the fire, Love is the flood You can't wash the "profit" from the neighbor’s blood. If your freedom means "mine" and never means "we" Then you’re just a slave to your own tyranny. [Chorus] Oh, Freedom for the bully is a prison for the poor It’s a "No Entry" sign on the mercy door Without the Light, the truth is just a lie And "License" is a vulture in a "Liberty" sky. [Outro] Turn on the light... (Love your neighbor) Break the "bully rule"... (Love your neighbor) Yeah, that’s the only way we’re free. Turn on the light... (Love your neighbor) Break the "bully rule"... (Love your neighbor)
