(Verse 1) Rights were ours before the borders Long before the flags were raised Freedom stood without permission Not a gift the state can praise We were built with strength and choices We were born to stand and fight Government was formed to guard it Not to own or shape our lives (Chorus) Nothing more, nothing more Hold the line and guard the door Rights are ours from the start Not a favor to restore Nothing more, nothing more We’re the ones they’re standing for Let the people live their lives That’s what government is for (Verse 2) We can build our homes and families We can work and we can stand We can face the storm together We don’t need a guiding hand But a shield against the danger Needs a strength we share as one So we made a simple contract Just to keep the harm undone (Chorus) Nothing more, nothing more Hold the line and guard the door Rights are ours from the start Not a favor to restore Nothing more, nothing more We’re the ones they’re standing for Let the people live their lives That’s what government is for (Bridge) Not to rule us, not to bind us Not to take the things we earn Not to tell us how to live here Not to steal the right to learn Just a guard against the danger Just a shield against the war Just a keeper of our freedom That is all and nothing more (Final Chorus) Nothing more, nothing more Hold the line and guard the door Rights are ours from the start Not a favor to restore Nothing more, nothing more We’re the ones they’re standing for Let the people live their lives That’s what government is for
