i was free to live and love  and kill as i saw fit  i was at peace, there really was  no one i was at war with  the only common good  was that we understood  that laws unjust  were only good for breaking  that difference legalized instead of sameness  left nobody free    that was the day before  i married my conscience to the state    my taxes paid, these roads were laid  to places of my choosing  there were no eyes up in the skies  looking down into my bed  there was no government without our consent  keys were made for anyone who just claimed it  glass was all of every wall that framed it  from sea to shining sea    that was the day before  i married my conscience to the state    right and wrong were written on my heart  and not just in the laws that condemn me  now with caesar satisfied i can even do the things  that should offend me    these lyrics are submitted by xaris01
