[Verse]
It's a time to remember the ones who we lost
The fathers and sons, the mothers and daughters
Who went overseas and fought
So we could be free, believe it or not, they dyin' for peace
They dyin' for speech, they died in the streets
In the middle east, they left a family at home, and picked up a gun
And stormed a beach, I see a problem
We've forgotten the fallen
Nobody works on Monday so wе celebrate and pop bottlеs
While there's soldiers in the dirt and they all got families who are hurtin'
The cost of freedom is a person, they died so we ain't speakin' German
So eat your burgers and drink your beers, relax, enjoy your day
There were funerals and a million tears so we could live our lives this way
There were widowed wives and childrens eyes who won't see their dads again
It's a holiday for the fallen, don't say Happy Memorial Day

[Chorus]
'Cause the freedom ain't free
Things got a cost
They paid for today with the lives we lost
So don't comply, stand your ground
They sacrificed it all, and we gotta make 'em proud
'Cause the freedom ain't free
