Freedom Tower Songtext
This, my son, is the Freedom Tower

It was built many years ago

By a man who'd tasted too much of power

And couldn't let anything go.


He thought it was time to expand his reach

Even if he had to fight

All the way from Redondo Beach

To the City of Blinding Lights.



His friends had money, and they were his friends

His enemies they had none

He used any means to achieve his ends

And make sure the war was won.


He couldn't speak English very well

He was a man of wealth and taste

He said he loved heaven and hated hell

Too bad he went to the latter place.



This, my son, is the Freedom Tower

It's a symbol of being free

But freedom changes, hour to hour

It's not what it used to be.
