Song information
So I said to myself: “Why not finish 2024 with a BANG?” Lol…

This song—written and recorded back in 2019—is full on Celt-Punk.

For decades I've been insisting that:

"The Right is WRONG and the Left is LUNATIC!"

For the first time EVER, we here in the U.S.A. have elected an administration that just might transcend that sterile and deceptive dichotomy. Time will tell...

Meanwhile, I find myself somewhat sceptical, while remaining hopeful... (the Deep State is mighty entrenched after all).

To quote a hero of mine, Argentina’s President Javier Milei:

“Long live LIBERTY, God da*nit!”

Heartfelt thanks to Al Hughson for his tech wizardry on the mix and master!

Lyrics
FREEDOM’S CHILD

I
Left and Right wing demagogues,
fight like rabid cats and dogs upon our T.V. screens!
Proposing ideologies that amount to slavery
upon the populace.
The Muslim, Christian, and the Jew,
the atheist and pagan too
—all caught up in the lies;
and as we quarrel amongst ourselves
the brash totalitarian plots
in thinly veiled disguise…

CHORUS:
But freedom’s child has piercing eyes
that penetrate the bull.
He sees right through this deadly puppet show!
“Equality!” “Security!”
—their mantras aimed at you and me,
but the Emperor stands naked there 
and shivering!

II
Saul Alinsky’s book of rules,
which counsels lying as a tool is used to great effect;
by politicos and journalists
strategically positioned there
on both sides of the rift.

CHORUS:
But freedom’s child has piercing eyes
that penetrate the bull.
He sees right through this deadly puppet show!
“Equality!” “Security!”
—their mantras aimed at you and me,
but the Emperor stands naked there 
and shivering!

Hey!

III
As each new crisis comes to pass,
the government’s response is to expand, Expand, EXPAND!
With each new incremental growth
our freedom’d dwindle steadily,
and they tax away our hopes!
It’s “war on terror,” “war on drugs,” “police the world,” 
EXCUSES
for these self anointed THUGS;
while we the people zombie-like
are slaving for the latest Pharoah’s 
pyramidal schemes…

CHORUS:
But freedom’s child has piercing eyes
that penetrate the bull.
He sees right through this deadly puppet show!
“Equality!” “Security!”
—their mantras aimed at you and me,
but the Emperor stands naked there 
and shivering!

Hey!

Alright!

Nice way to end 2024!
Celt Punk! I love that!
Do they jump around in their kilts while they shake their heads up and down?
Really enjoyed this one.
Like Yoslounge, I too avoid politics.

I guess I'm guilty of not listening to Punk. And Im sorry more folks don't follow Politics.  World might be a better place if they did.
Ignoring issues doesn't resolve anything.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the listen albeit different Genre for me.

Thanks friends... I have been apolitcal all my adult life, until a couple years ago; then I got wind of the antics of the Globalist cabal. Realizing the danger we are ALL in (whether left or right or middle) I have been inclined to participate to a degree. As with other matters in life, it's impossible for me to keep it entirely out of my music!
Lol...
Not trying to offend anyone here. Just venting my frustration with the whole shooting match; hopefully with a kick a*s bit O' tuneage.

Ah.. so this is Celt Punk..I recall back in the 80s hearing this music vibe from bands like Big Country and loved it and love Yours as well.. One of your very very best.  Your thoughts echo mine politically. your lyrics add some good ol USA revolutionary spice..'Freedom's child has piercing eyes'  That line reminds me of someone... and I too was apolitical till 2015..  Worthy of 2 listens. the whole music arrangement rocks . LIFE!!!

Celt-Punk indeed! My musical inspiration is from groups like the Pogues, Oysterband, The Men They Couldn't Hang, and several others. I've always loved the Celt-vibe being Scotch-Irish on my father's side.
Thanks for the nice comment my friend!
:-)
PS: If memory serves, Big Country covered one of Oysterband's more raucus tunes: "When I'm Up I Can't Get Down."

It seems to me the existing parties are just as extreme. They all need replacing. Of course, there's always the chance that the cure will be worse than the disease. Let's pray that doesn't end up being the case bro!
Glad you liked the tune my friend!

Needless to say almost, it's a great rocking song with great super thoughtful lyrics.  I gotta share this with some of my fellow musicians here in the Seattle area who I know would dig the message.

Hear a bit of Steeleye Span here. Love them and love this. This could have been part of their catalogue if they were still playing. I’ve always had a soft spot for Celt-Punk and this fits the bill. Have a terrific New Year my friend.
