You don't get a courtroom, you don't get a case file
Unbiased jury followed by a fair trial
You don't get a judge who might give a damn about a sentence
Justice, witness protection plan
You've got the evidence, but it's stacked against a—
Free man
A free man
You could never walk away without a price to pay
But he can
Some rules of the Bible ain't against the law
Funny how it don't cost anything at all
But be a free man
You don't get money for emotional damage
Apology for years of carrying the baggage
Humiliation, separation, reparation package
Reimbursed for promises you just took back, it's
Not a crime, a sin
That's just the way it is for a—
Free man
A free man
You could never walk away without a price to pay
But he can
Some rules of the Bible ain't against the law
Funny how it don't cost anything at all
But be a free man
So you pay a premium to talk to a stranger
Crying on a couch, sorting out all that anger
Expensive medication for occasional depression
Asking all the while what the hell is the lesson?
You don't get no sleep
And there's no PTSD
For a free man
A free man
You could never walk away without a price to pay
But he can
Some rules of the Bible ain't against the law
Funny how it don't cost anything, anything at all
Some rules of the Bible ain't against the law
Funny how it don't cost anything at all
But be a free man
Oh, a free man
Oohh
