Freedom Is A Cruel Mistress - Eclipse

nothing is free not even freedom

got to give something to get

you’ve got to give up your security

freedom has her debt

she may entice you for a while

she can lure you with her smile

freedom is a cruel mistress

no compromise no alibis

she’s got no use for your excuses

she’ll cut you — cut you down to size

nothing is free not even freedom

got to pay the going price

you’ve got to pay her in loneliness

freedom has her vice

she may embrace in her arms

she will hold you with her charms

freedom is a cruel mistress

no compromise no alibis

she’s got no use for your excuses

she’ll cut you — cut you down to size

freedom is a cruel mistress

no compromise no alibis

she’s got no use for your excuses

she’ll cut you — cut you down to size

freedom is a cruel mistress

no compromise no alibis

she’s got no use for your excuses

she’ll cut you — cut you down to size

freedom is a cruel mistress

no compromise no alibis

she’s got no use for your excuses

she’ll cut you — cut you down to size

freedom is a cruel mistress

no compromise no alibis

she’s got no use for your excuses

she’ll cut you — cut you down to size

freedom
