Land of the Free

My freedom is fenced by high expectations
And for years I've yearned for a little salvation
In the land of the free, how can I be
Individualistic?

Apparently it's an autonomy
That's far too concerned with economy
Thus we've become, except for some,
Far too materialistic.

Ironic that in this democracy,
I've never seen such hypocrisy
Freedom's our guise, but much of it's lies,
We're all just idealistic.

Americans have the mentality
That theirs is the only morality
Stop being blind, open your mind
It's risky to be narcissistic.

Once, people arrived to escape persecution
The New World it seemed was the greatest solution
If we've come so far, to me it's bizarre
That as a people we're unaltruistic.

Is it strange that I seem to want to be saved
From the land of the free and the home of the brave?
In the land of the free, how can I be
Individualistic?
