[Chorus]
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inc-inc-inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free
Yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
[Verse 1]
You think you're strong and you can't be broken
But your empire is dissolving
You thought, you thought I was weak
But you got it wrong
Look into my eyes
I'm a defector
[Chorus]
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inc-inc-inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free
Yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
[Verse 2]
Your blood is blue and your mind's turned green
And your belly is all yellow
You believe your throne is too high to be overthrown
We'll watch it get razed
By a defector
[Chorus]
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inc-inc-inciting
