Songtexte: Mason Jennings. Birds Flying Away. United States Global Empire.

Our United States of America
Has quickly become a global empire
Come on, see it now for what it really is
Power hungry, nothing much to give
Violent, all in the name of freedom

Freedom is not domination
I believe that freedom's got to come from within
Yes it does and without the gun
Freedom's the ability to feel love for everyone

The empire controls the media
And media controls the world
Come on, media is the empire's mouth
Capitalist, propaganda coming out
And violence, all in the name of freedom

Freedom is not competition
I believe that freedom's got to come from within
Yes it does, not with the gun
Freedom's the ability to feel love for everyone
