Do you wanna be a free man Or do you wanna be a slave? Do you wanna wear these chains   Until you’re lying in the grave? [Verse 3] I don’t wanna be a pauper And I don’t wanna be a prince I don’t wanna be a pauper And I don’t wanna be a prince I just wanna do my job   Playing the blues for my friends [Verse 4] Magna Carta Bill of Rights The constitution what’s it worth? You know they’re gonna grind us down ah    Until it really hurts Is this a sovereign nation Or just a police state?

You wanna be your own driver Or keep on flogging a dead horse? Do you wanna make it better   Or do you wanna make it worse? [Verse 6] Stand and deliver You let them put the fear on you Sold down the river But not a word of it was true If there’s nothing you can say   There may be nothing you can do [Tag] Stand and deliver     Stand and deliver            Dick Turpin wore a mask too [Outro] |      |

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'idée de prendre position face aux peurs et aux manipulations que l'on subit. Elle interroge sur la liberté et la servitude, demandant si l'on souhaite vraiment suivre les diktats ou revendiquer son autonomie. À travers des métaphores puissantes, elle souligne le mépris grandissant pour les droits fondamentaux et fait réfléchir sur la nature de notre société, oscillant entre la souveraineté et la répression. Dans un monde où l’on peut se sentir piégé, elle pousse à la réflexion sur nos choix et notre volonté de nous battre pour notre liberté.
