[Verse 1]
They say this land is free for all
But watch the hammer start to fall
Can't speak the truth, can't hold the line
In this republic, you're out of time
[Chorus]
Can't be a socialist in the land of the free
You're standing on ground that won't let you be
Can't stand for rights you don't even own
You better pack up and leave mine alone
[Verse 2]
Go back to yours, they shout in the street
With a heavy rhythm and the West Coast beat
I'm just a shadow, a ghost in the grain
Trying to find shelter out of the rain
[Chorus]
Can't be a socialist in the land of the free
You're standing on ground that won't let you be
Can't stand for rights you don't even own
You better pack up and leave mine alone
[Outro]
Leave mine alone
Yeah, just leave it alone
(Deep bass fades)
