Liner Notes

This one may be a bit too politically charged. Anyway, here it is...

Lyrics

Copper lady on the shore
Your torch held high, but what for?
"Give me your tired," the tablet reads
While freedom bleeds

Statue of Liberty, what do you see?
Land of the bound, no longer free
Your words ring hollow in the night
As we surrender without a fight
Statue, statue...
of liberty

Eyes in the sky, ears on the ground
They track our lives without a sound
"Home of the brave," the anthem cries
But fear's the prize

Statue of Liberty, what do you see?
Land of the bound, no longer free
Your words ring hollow in the night
As we surrender without a fight
Statue, statue...
of liberty

Liberty enlightening the world?
The light's gone out, the flag's unfurled
In the name of order, in the name of law
We watch our rights withdraw

Broken chains at your feet lie
New ones form, we don't ask why
Mother of Exiles, led astray
In the land of the caged, we'll obey

Statue of Liberty, what have we done?
Ideals eroded, freedom outrun
Your flame flickers, barely alive
As we sleep, our rights take a dive
Statue, statue...
of liberty

Give us your data, your prints, your face
No huddled masses in this place
The dream's been sold, the price is high
Welcome to the land of the compliant sigh
