Verse 1
Am 
Em 
Let's see, what key I want to
do this in?
Am 
Everybody knows that they're
Em 
guilty
Am 
Everybody knows that
Em 
they've lied
Am 
Everybody knows that they're
Em 
Am 
Bm 
guilty
Em 
It's freedom,
Am 
Bm 
said it's freedom time now,
Em 
Am 
it's freedom,
Bm 
said it's freedom time now.
Em 
Am 
Bm 
Time to get free,
oh give yourselves up now,
Em 
Am 
it's freedom,
Bm 
said it's freedom time.
Em 
Y 'all, there's a war in the mind
over territory for the
Am 
dominion.
Who will dominate the opinions,
Em 
schisms and isms,
Am 
keeping us in forms of re  ligion,
conforming our vision
to the world church's decision,
Em 
trapped in a section,
submitted to committee election,
Am 
moral infection,
epidemic lies and deception,
Em 
insurrection of the highest
possible order,
Am 
distort and I take recorders from
hearing like underwater,
Em 
beyond the borders,
Am 
find a sin and disorder,
bound by the strategy
of systemic depravity,
Em 
heaviest gravity,
Am 
head first in the cavity without a bottom,
a faith worse than Sodom.
Bm 
Em 
What's got him drunk off the spirits?
Am 
Bm 
Truth comes, we can't hear it
when you get programmed to fear it.
I had a vision,
Em 
Am 
I was falling in indecision,
appalling,
Bm 
calling religion some
program on television.
Em 
How can dominant wisdom
Am 
be recognized in a system of
antichrists and majority rules?
Em 
Intelligent fools,
PhDs an illusion,
Am 
masters of mass confusion,
bachelors of past delusion.
Em 
Now who you choosing,
Am 
the head or the tail?
The bloodshed of the male
Em 
or confidence in the veil?
Conferences at Yale,
Am 
discussing doctrines of Baal,
causing people to fail,
Bm 
Am 
Bm 
keeping the third in  jail.
Em 
His words nailed everything to the tree,
Am 
Bm 
severing all of me  from all
that I used to be.
Em 
Am 
Formless and void, totally paranoid,
Bm 
enjoying darkness and slaughter,
Em 
keeping me from the sword.
Blocked from mercy,
Am 
bitter than Circe,
hungry and thirsty for good
meat we were eating,
Em 
still dine at the table of deceit.
Am 
How incomplete,
from confrontation to retreat,
Em 
we belong to true enemies' defeat.
Am 
destitute of necessity,
Em 
causing desperation
to get the best of me,
Am 
punishment till there was
nothing left of me,
Em 
realizing the inescapable death of me,
Am 
no options in the valley of decision,
the only doctrine
Em 
supernatural circumcision,
Am 
inwardly only water can purge the heart
Bm 
Am 
Bm 
from words to  fiery darts,
Em 
thrown by the workers of the arts,
Am 
Bm 
iniquity shaping in,
there's no escaping when,
your whole
Em 
Philosophy is paper thin
Am 
Bm 
in  vanity.
The wide road is insanity.
Em 
Am 
Could it be all of  humanity?
Bm 
Picture that.
Scripture that.
Em 
The origin of man's heart is black.
Am 
Bm 
How can we show up for an
Em 
invisible war?
Preoccupied with a shadow,
Am 
making love with a whore.
Aching and sores,
Em 
Babylon the great mystery.
Mother of human history,
Bm 
Em 
Bm 
system of social sor cery.
Em 
Our present condition needs
Am 
serious recognition.
Bm 
Where there's no repentance,
there can be no remission.
Em 
And that sentence more
serious than Vietnam,
Am 
the atom bomb in Saddam and
Minister Farrakhan
Bm 
What's going on?
Em 
Am 
What's the priority to you?
Bm 
By what authority do we do?
The majority hasn't a clue
Em 
We've majored in curses,
searched the chapters,
Am 
checked the verses
Bm 
Recaptured the land,
removed the mark from off our hands
Em 
So  we can stand in agreement
Am 
with his command
Everything else is damn,
let them with ears under
Em 
Am 
stand
Everything else is damn,
Bm 
Em 
let them with ears understand
Am 
It's freedom,
Bm 
said it's freedom time now,
Em 
yeah, it's freedom,
Am 
Bm 
said it's freedom time now,
Em 
it's freedom,
Am 
Bm 
Em 
I'ma be who I am,
Am 
Bm 
it's freedom time,
Em 
said it's freedom time,
Am 
Everybody knows that
they're blind
Em 
Am 
Everybody knows they're
Em 
Bm 
Em 
perpetrated in  side
Am 
Everybody knows that they're guilty as
Em 
Am 
Resting on their conscience,
Bm 
hearing their insides
Em 
Get free,
Am 
Bm 
be  who you're supposed to be.
Em 
Am 
Bm 
Freedom, said it's
freedom time now.
Em 
Am 
Bm 
Freedom, said it's
freedom time.
Em 
Am 
Bm 
Freedom, freedom time now.
Let's get a sip of that.
Thank you.
