Freedom Or Fire -- Fear Factory

How can you accept social suppression  This weak state of mind in our time
I demand release from hypocrisy   I'd rather die than be held down, forced down
Freedom or fire  Freedom or fire

I'm on the threshold of revolution  I'd rather burn than be held down, forced down 
Freedom or fire  Freedom or fire

Unrestrained determination  Set ablaze for liberation 
Locked in chains of this sovereignty  Let me be cause I long to be
Free!  Free!  Unrestrained determination

Set ablaze for liberation   Set ablaze  Set ablaze  Freedom or fire

This song is about a man who was tired of the oppression of the government. He gives a speech detailing what is happening, then lights himself on fire in protest.
