Sister Liberty

Oh sister Liberty, you've turned your back on me

When you were young I used to see you walking arm in arm

with the poor boys who worked on all the factories and farms

Now you spend all of your time with the country club crowd

So beautiful and pure, you were everything and more

We all could see your promise, we all took up your cause

We defended your honor without question or pause

Now I see a "members only" sign - I guess I'm not allowed

You know I love you and I always will

I put no one above you but I can tell

Those men that are making your decisions for you

they're not your friends

Oh sister Liberty, for your grace and charity

you were the envy of people far and wide

They would cross the mighty oceans just to stand by your side

with only their hopes and their dreams and the clothes on their backs

But it's different today, yeah you turn us all away

Don't you deny it I can see it in your eyes

You've kept too many secrets and you've told too many lies

Now your porcelain perfect complexion is starting to crack

But you know I love you and I always will

I'll put no one above you but I can tell

those men that are making your decisions for you

they're not your friends

Oh sister Liberty, you know we're family

and I still believe that you can be the girl we knew before

just take your empire-hungry entourage and kick 'em out the door

and your brothers and sisters will welcome you back home again
