"Freedom Bridge"

Amy was a waitress at The Fire Street Grill

Up route 611 she was slaving for the pill

Oxy's got her pupils pinned up

A junkie centerfold

With grey hairs and a death wish

She was 22 years old

Had it all

Took the fall

Had it all

Took the fall

Specialist Jeg, a much more honest man than you

Came back from the desert where he never found the truth

Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol

While the morbid brown faces hang like portraits on the wall

Had it all

He took the fall

Had it all

They took it all

Something happened on the way to hell,

The new guard they took my sister

Something happened on the way to hell,

The old guard they took my brother away

Something happened on the way to hell,

The same greed it took our parents

Something happened on the way to hell,

The west wall it took us with it

McTiernan was a good ol' boy, he cheated and he skimmed

"A favor for a favor, it can't be called a sin"

Some may see it different, and some don't see at all

When the papers started calling he closed his eyes and took the fall

Had it all

Took the fall

Had it all

Took the fall

Now we're standing on the ledge

And we're looking at the ground

I feel my body breaking on the asphalt, hear the sound

Red and blue lights screaming saying,

"Step up off that ledge"

So we wrap our hearts up in our heads

And take the fall instead

Had it all

Took the fall

Had it all

Took the fall

Something happened on the way to hell,

The new guard they took my sister

Something happened on the way to hell,

The old guard they took my brother away

Something happened on the way to hell,

The same greed it took our parents

Something happened on the way to hell,

The west wall it took us with it

Something happened on the way to hell,

The west wall it took us with it
