I heard there's a place  Where men traded worlds  And the debts were paid off  With our lives  And the eyes of the innocent went blind  When the concrete mountains fell from the sky    If you let freedom ring, will they hear it  If you let freedom ring, will they care  If you let freedom ring, will they accept it  If you let freedom ring, will they dare  We're to blame  We're to... blame  When freedom rings are we deaf and dumb    With arrogance we act surprised  We police the world  And we cheat out the deprived  A deserved tragedy  That we had coming  And the price you'll pay  For your leaders lies
