It's Okay To Admit That You Don't Love Freedom. No, really. It is. I understand. There's no shame in it. All I ask is that you own it, confess your fear of letting Others enjoy their independence. I'll try to do the same.

lyrics

You can take comfort / There's someone watching over you
Looking into everyone you meet / And watching everything you do
So when you call your mistress on the telephone,
The two of you will never have to be alone
And it's okay to admit that you don't love freedom

So buy her useless trinkets / To make up for when you fight
And who gives a damn just where they come from / So long as the price is right?
And all these baubles that are simply tossed aside
Those who assemble them could never afford to buy
But it's okay to admit that you don't love freedom

There's a tanline on your finger / Things fell through, but at least you tried
But now you deny others the right to try and make it last / You say they'll never be sanctified
It don't matter if they never break a single vow
In your eyes they'll be damned anyhow
But it's okay. Just admit that you don't love freedom
