[Verse]
Whoa, oh, oh[x2]
Well I'm a freedom fighter
And I hear your lies
Ain't no truth in your smile
Ain't no truth in your eyes
Well, the trail you leave on the blood-soaked ground
It stains us all and it tears us down
The guns you carry and the bombs you make
Cause too many tears, too many hearts to break

Well I'm a freedom fighter
I'm a desperate man
I aim my camera
And I take us in
Well, I'm a freedom fighter
And I'm taking aim!
A child of war, a weapon of shame
There was once a time we believed your lies
Now you can't walk the streets cause you'll never survive
That's hell to pay if you don't give us right
One man's terror is another man's freedom's fight

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh[x6]

[Outro]
And I'm a freedom fighter
I'm gonna tear you apart
Yeah, I'm a freedom fighter
Yeah, I'm gonna break your heart!

Aerosmith

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
