Freedom is a luxury you can't afford   When you're working minimum wage at the corner store   When little children are preyed on in their own homes   When you're working at the factory   Making parts for your radio      Freedom is a luxury      Freedom is a luxury you can't afford   When you've walked all day and your feet are sore   When it's five miles to the next grocery store   When you're slaving over 40 hrs   Slaving for your slave's wage   Freedom is a luxury      Freedom is a luxury you can't afford   When you're working minimum wage at the corner store   When you've walked all day and your feet are sore   When you're slaving at the factory   Making parts for your radio   Slaving for your slaves wage   Freedom is a luxury you can't afford      Everywhere is war
