A live version recorded in Josh 's basement in Centereach also appeared on Precise Microwave Orphans Order - 17 Of The Worst Live Perfomances .

lyrics

A victim of collision on the open sea

Nobody ever said that life was free

Sank, swam, go down with the ship

But use your freedom of choice

I'll say it again In the land of the free

Use your freedom of choice

Your freedom of choice

In ancient Rome there was a poem

About a dog who found two bones

He picked at one, he licked the other

He went in circles, he dropped dead

Freedom of choice Is what you got

Freedom of choice

Then if you got it, you don't want it

Seems to be the rule of thumb

Don't be tricked by what you see

You got two ways to go

I'll say it again In the land of the free

Use your freedom of choice

Freedom of choice

Freedom of choice Is what you got

Freedom of choice

In ancient Rome there was a poem

About a dog who found two bones

He picked at one, he licked the other

He went in circles, he dropped dead

Freedom of choice Is what you got

Freedom from choice Is what you want ...
