How am I supposed to survive If I don’t know what’s wrong and what’s right How am I supposed to know freedom If I don’t know I’m living inside Cause you’ve got the nail to my all My only chance to know what is what Cause you’ve got the nail to my all An object I can’t even control
Set me free Pull the nail out with your teeth Don’t leave me wasted The slave hits the cog And every neck is turned to grey The silence turns to thaw And the words make sense in their own way
But tradition is a slave to its owner And I won’t let nobody take it over No I won’t let nobody take it over And on my own life I won’t turn a shoulder To the fissures that keep us divided Can’t hold on the quiet Can’t keep me away
Set me free Pull the nail out with your teeth Set me free Don’t leave me wasted
