1
The policemen broke my door down
2
Dragged me from my bed
3
I asked them what was happening
4
They just ignored the words I said
5
They waved their guns in my face
6
Kept screaming out my name
7
Something terrible had happened
8
And somehow I was to blame
9
O freedom, what liberties are taken in thy name
10
In thy name
11
O freedom, what liberties are taken
12
What liberties are taken
13
What liberties are taken in thy name
14
My accusers formed a jury
15
The judge and the defense
16
The charges were made known to me
17
But not the evidence
18
There was no guilty verdict
19
Yet, still I was detained
20
Flown to another country where
21
Their methods are less constrained
22
O freedom, what liberties are taken in thy name
23
In thy name
24
O freedom, what liberties are taken
25
What liberties are taken
26
What liberties are taken in thy name
27
In our determination
28
To defend democracy
29
We must not destroy the safeguards
30
That underpin our liberty
31
For who will pay the price if
32
Injustice such as this
33
Turns our protectors to oppressors
34
And angry men to terrorists?
35
O freedom, what liberties are taken in thy name
36
In thy name
37
O freedom, what liberties are taken
38
What liberties are taken
39
What liberties are taken in thy name
