  • (Freedom, la la la la)
    (Freedom, follow me)
    (Freedom, la la la la)
    (Freedom)
    Cut it!
    (Freedom, la la la la)
    (Freedom, follow me)
    (Freedom, la la la la)
    (Freedom)

    Let me tell you, I'm vicious
    Not pass-aggressive
    I got my finger on my pulse
    Staring straight into a hole and I'mma get it
    And I'm a savage
    It's automatic
    I got a way of making noise
    The power to destroy with no static

    Now victory is all you need
    So cultivate and plant the seed
    Hold your breath and count to ten
    Just count to ten

    I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
    I know it all too well
    Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
    Can I get a witness? (Witness)
    'Cause agony brings no reward
    For one more hit and one last score
    Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!

    (Freedom, la la la la)
    (Freedom, follow me) cut the cord!
    (Freedom, la la la la)
    (Freedom)

    You gotta feel the courage
    Embrace possession
    If it was easier to shatter everything that ever mattered
    But it's not, because it's your obsession
    Be a fighter, backbone, desire
    Complicated and it stings
    But we both know what it means
    And it's time to get real and inspired

    Now victory is all you need
    So cultivate and plant the seed
    Hold your breath and count to ten
    Just count to ten, just count to ten

    I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
    I know it all too well
    Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
    Can you witness (witness)
    'Cause agony brings no reward
    For one more hit and one last score
    Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!

    Cut it!
    Cut it!

    'Cause victory is all you need
    So cultivate and plant the seed
    Hold your breath and count to ten
    Just count to ten

    I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
    I know it all too well
    Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
    Can you witness? (Witness)
    'Cause agony brings no reward
    For one more hit and one last score
    Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!
    Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!

    (Freedom, la la la la)
    (Freedom, follow me) cut the cord!
    (Freedom, la la la la)

  • Violentvixen29 from UsaAmericans need to stand up!
  • Melissa from Merrillville, IndianaI love️ ShineDown! I relate to these songs a lot & everyone of them have meaning to me. ShineDown has been there when I was at my lowest point & ShineDown has been there when I'm rockin' out in my house! I downloaded all their songs & I listen to their songs every day. Again, there's no music that beats alternative rock & rock. It's mind-blowing how good they freaking sound just downloading their songs onto my iPhone. I wish I could see them at one of their concerts. ShineDown is one of the most badass bands of all time. I love️ ShineDown too because they've never changed their music throughout the years. Shinedown has NEVER abandoned their beliefs or values regarding their style of alternative rock/rock throughout the years & it's very impressive. I'm sure there's a lot of unbelievable pressure in the music biz, I feel it's criminal to bully & force bands to change their style of music. OMG! ShineDown Rocks!! I love️ Brent...lead vocals, Zach...guitar, Eric...bass & piano, & Barry...drums!! I'm looking forward to new music by Shinedown to download & add them to my kick-ass collection. I love️ You Guys!!
