Title:
“Fabricated Freedom”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em – G – D – A
In the heart of the city, draped in lights so pretty,
We sell our dreams away.
We’re tired of the lies, the fabricated highs,
We’re breaking free today.
(Chorus)
C – G – D – Em
Fabricated freedom, we won’t believe ’em,
We’ve got our own way to fly,
Costs us our soul, this mindless control,
We’re breaking these chains tonight.
(Verse 2)
Em – G – D – A
Burned by the glamour, lost in the clamor,
Just pawns in a losing game.
But beneath the charade, our spirit’s unswayed,
We won’t be tamed, we won’t be blamed.
(Chorus)
C – G – D – Em
Fabricated freedom, we won’t believe ’em,
We’re marching to our own beat,
Costs us our pride, this pointless ride,
We’re taking control of the driver’s seat.
(Outro)
C – G – D – Em
Fabricated freedom, we’re more than they see ’em,
We are the costly product,
Our voices will rise, break through the skies,
We’re the truth, we’re the object.
Fan’s testimonial:
My name is Riley, and I am probably the biggest Costly Product fan out there. Their music speaks to me on a level no other band has managed to achieve. Their lyrics are raw and relatable. They’re not just another rock band, they stand for something – a rebellion against the norms, an uprising against the system. Costly Product is more than just a band to me, they’re a movement, a voice for the voiceless. Their song, “Fabricated Freedom,” is my anthem. It resonates with my own struggle against the societal expectations and norms. Costly Product isn’t just my favorite band, they’re my beacon of hope in a world that too often dismisses individuality.
