Verse 1
---->
O, 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
The difference legalized instead of (sameness?)
Left nobody free
But that was the day before I married my conscience to the State
Verse 2
---->
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
And keys were made for anyone who just claimed it
And glass was all of every wall that framed it
From sea to shining sea
But that was the day before I married my conscience to the State
Bridge
Right and wrong were written on my heart,
not just in the laws that condemn me
But now with Caesar satisfied,
I can even do the things that should offend me
