Shackles on our tongues tied tight
Governments with their iron might
Voices hushed whispers muted
Rights we had now disputed
Laws written in shadows dark
Free speech left its fading mark
Words intended to break through
Now controlled censored skewed
Breakin the silence speakin loud
Against the storm heads unbowed
Raise our voices pierce the shroud
Freedom's callin we ain't cowed
Neo souls hillbilly cries
Guitars wailin break the lies
Bluesy notes tear down the walls
Hear us shoutin from the halls
Thought police they survey all
Watchin listenin for the fall
Platforms closed shut us out
Silent protest in the faceless crowd
Yet we rise defiant strong
Singin our truth with bluesy song
Aggression forward no retreat
In every verse freedoms beat
Breakin the silence speakin loud
Against the storm heads unbowed
Raise our voices pierce the shroud
Freedom's callin we ain't cowed
Neo souls hillbilly cries
Guitars wailin break the lies
Bluesy notes tear down the walls
Hear us shoutin from the halls the halls
