Freedom is not always free,
Think twice,
Wisdom is more than a spree,
Think it wise;
Don't play with the trader,
I've seen many cheated,
Don't joke with the adder,
I've seen many defeated;
Woe to the sons of men,
What a fatal exchange !
The damage, who can mend?,
We've traded freedom for shackles and chains;
How long shall tears rain?,
A century of old merchants,
They trade with our brains,
A brood of colorful tyrants
Evil Merchants
