Lyrics:

[Intro] [Fast Tempo]

[Distorted Guitar Riff]
(Screaming) FREEDOM! YEAH!

[Verse 1] [Aggressive Vocals]

They say I owe ’em taxes, a fee for every breath I take
But I’m a sovereign soul, no paper chase for goodness sake!
Got my birth certificate, that’s my land deed—don’t you see?
This whole planet’s mine, and I’m just living wild and free!

[Chorus] [Gang Vocals]

[Upbeat]
Freeman on the land, baby, that’s my legal name!
No government’s gonna put my spirit in a frame!
Got my own common law, my own rules, and my own fun!
You can keep your bureaucracy, I’m out here, second to none!

[Verse 2] [Sarcastic Tone]

Tried to serve me papers, stamped “Official” and “Urgent” too
Told ’em, "I don’t recognize your courts, I’m not playing by your queue!"
My signature’s in the dust, my address: the open sky
You want my money? Better catch me if you can—just try!

[Verse 3: Council Tax] [Snarling, Unhinged]

Council Tax bill on my doormat, threatening red and bold
Want my pounds for potholes, bins, and stories I’ve been told
Sent it back with lipstick: “RETURN TO SENDER, MATE!”
If you want your payment, bring a warrant to my gate!
I’ll be in my dressing gown, mug of tea in hand
Reading Magna Carta, plotting how I’ll make my stand!

[Bridge: Statutory Declaration, Spoken-Word, Mock Legalese]
[Music slows, crowd hushes, spotlight on singer]
I, the undersigned, being of sound mind and questionable haircut,
Do hereby declare:
No statute, act, or bylaw shall touch my sacred shed!
My garden gnome is a sovereign entity!
My wheelie bin is under diplomatic protection!
Any attempt to enforce payment will be met with—
[shouts]
A strongly worded letter and possibly a custard pie!

[Chorus] [Gang Vocals]

[Louder, Frenzied]
Freeman on the land, baby, that’s my legal name!
No government’s gonna put my spirit in a frame!
Got my own common law, my own rules, and my own fun!
You can keep your bureaucracy, I’m out here, second to none!

[Anti-Bureaucracy Rant: Spoken, Wild]
Parking fines? Ignored!
TV License? Never heard of it!
Voter registration? Not on my land!
Your forms are my napkins, your letters line my cat’s tray!
I’ll pay in Monopoly money—send the bailiff, I’ll send cake!

[Guitar Solo] [Chaotic, Fast Picking, Paperwork Shredding FX]

[Chorus] [Shouted, All Out]

FREEMAN ON THE LAND, BABY, THAT’S MY LEGAL NAME!
NO GOVERNMENT’S GONNA PUT MY SPIRIT IN A FRAME!
GOT MY OWN COMMON LAW, MY OWN RULES, AND MY OWN FUN!
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR BUREAUCRACY, I’M OUT HERE, SECOND TO NONE!

[Outro] [Abrupt Stop]

[Feedback, Paper Shredder Sound]
FREEDOM!
[Shouts:]
And don’t forget to stamp my passport when you leave my lawn!
