lyrics

You won't decide for me, who is my enemy
You can't stop me, I will sing my love for Islam
Cause I learned from Ghandi, and Jesus he spoke to me
Of freedom or death, freedom or death

When Russian children grew, they were told all about me and you
We, the evil empire creeping over the world
Where is their evidence, we just spend our money on defense
500 billion a year

Empires, they invade and occupy, impose their ideologies
You know, the Afghans they will die until they've kicked us out
Cause like you they are all about, freedom or death, freedom or death

Ten years ago they showed, on British television
The luckiest Nut in the World, you should check that film out
Of course, you'd have to use the internet,
Cause it's not been shown on American TV networks yet

You'll learn just how they put the world in debt
Lover, did they get you yet?
You've earned your credit rating, hell they've got your arse now
So you cry freedom or death
Freedom or death

by Catherine Feeny

supported by 5 fans who also own “Freedom or Death”

The lovely lady Catherine gifts us with perfection in contradiction; as her raw and bold lyrics advocate for change, her silky voice makes it a personal and beautiful affair that is more than an uprising, and more of an invitation to partner with her in making the world a better place. Seriously a phenominal cd and a phenominally talented lady. Hannah Glavor
