Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Long shifts, hard floor
Badge on my chest
Coffee gone cold
And I still don't rest
Clock says "go"
My hands say "hold"
They call it free
But it feels controlled
[Pre-Chorus]
Punch in, punch out
Same old screen
Same old face
Same old dream
[Chorus]
Free, but tied
Free, but tied
Got my name on a line
And my time on a line
Free, but tied
Free, but tied
(Free, but tied)
Tell me, am I mine?
[Verse 2]
Bus home packed
With the same blank eyes
Cheap takeout bags
And a hundred tries
Rent wants more
Than my tired smile
I'm working hard
Just to stay awhile
[Pre-Chorus]
Punch in, punch out
Same old screen
Same old face
Same old dream
[Chorus]
Free, but tied
Free, but tied
Got my name on a line
And my time on a line
Free, but tied
Free, but tied
(Free, but tied)
Tell me, am I mine?
[Bridge]
If I run, where to?
If I stop, then what?
Hands in the air
Still feeling cuffed
They sold me a door
But it won't swing wide
I keep on pushing
I keep on asking why
[Final Chorus]
Free, but tied
Free, but tied
Got my name on a line
And my time on a line
Free, but tied
Free, but tied
(Free, but tied)
Tell me, am I mine?
