In nature's wild, the life of man was brief,A brutal, solitary, lawless state.Where every neighbor was a lurking thief,And violent death was our common fate.So we surrendered freedom to the crown,And built a sovereign power to command;To lay our weapons and our anger down,In exchange for peace across the land.Yet in the safety of this crowded cage,The heavy iron chains begin to gall.The state demands our lives from age to age,And trades our liberty to build a wall.We bought security with iron bands,And placed our chains into a master's hands.
