about

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. We've heard it many times, but it's never been harder to achieve and protect than it is these days. The amount of fake news is astounding. Who should we believe? But standing up has also never been more important. Personally, I want to leave this planet in better shape than I found it. Yep, that's not going to happen. But still...I will keep trying!

lyrics

LAND OF THE FREE
Words & Music by Larry Campbell c 2012

Verse 1:
Pat downs, crack downs, where's the enemy?
Background checks, so what's next, just let me be.
Uncle Sam surveillance cams, you're never out of sight,
and now they're strip-searching grandma if she wants to take a flight.

Chorus:
But they only have power if we give them opportunity,
disguised in deception of protecting our security.
Little by little, they eat away the middle,
chewing up our liberty...

In the home of the brave in the land of the free,
Every law that is made takes a freedom from me,
Sea to shing sea, amber waves of grain,
Mountain's majesty above the fruited plains,
I'm going to stand and fight and not lay down,
for what I know is right until I'm dead in the ground,
Don't let them take it away it's your destiny,
In the land of the free.

Verse 2:
Regulating confiscating taking our rights
by executive order like a thief in the night
tax this, tariff that, they've made a law
so they can put their hands in Peter's pocket just to pay Paul

Chorus:
