"Freedom Bus" lyrics

I guess today is Judgment Day
Since everybody's got something to say
But if all you can come up with is hate
Then turn around and march the other way

Let's take a lesson from the family tree
We share this land, but we don't all agree
You think I'm weird, I think you are crazy
But I can love you 'cause we're all family

Whoever said freedom was free?
There ain't no freedom without history
And folks who died for you and me
So don't be an asshole, let everyone be

What if everyone took a civics class?
I'm not sure I know anyone who'd pass
But how we live today comes from the past
If we forget, it could slip from our grasp

Whatever happened to the Golden Rule?
Whoever wrote it wasn't just a fool
We watch the thread unravel from the spool
When you preach love and still you act so cruel

Whoever said freedom was free?
There ain't no freedom without history
And folks who died for you and me
So don't be an asshole, let everyone be
Yeah

So let's all pile onto the freedom bus
It's not for some, that ride's for all of us
Bring Jesus, Buddha, or your old dog Gus
Whatever brings you joy and happiness
Oh

Whoever said freedom was free?
There ain't no freedom without history
And folks who died for you and me
Oh

Whoever said freedom was free?
There ain't no freedom without history
And folks who died for you and me
So don't be an asshole, let everyone be
