FREE TO FIGHT Pete & the Half Baked
From the Depths came the Mortal Threat
Change your Ways and Con – form or
Lose your Freedom to a Great Big Lie (Monarchy)
And Face the Rising Storm
Fascist Rule was Taking Hold
Crushed by the Threat
But Deep Inside a Spark of Hope
We Won’t Give Up Just Yet
Free to Fight Stem the Tide
Kiss No Ring Save Your Pride
Free to Fight we Will De – fend
Dignity un – ‘Til the END
Folks Stood Up they Would Resist
Ty – ran – – ny Must Die
The Numbers Grew their Strength did Too
Above the Battle Cry
Li – ber – ty and Free Will
Time to Join the Band
Lies No More Faith Re – Stored
Across the Promise Land
Free to Fight you Have that Right Beat the Op – pres – sor
Free to Fight you Have that Right Strike the Magic Chord
Free To Fight was written shortly after the last presidential election. For the most part I don’t get that wrapped up with politics, it seems every cycle is another version of past one. But the results of this election brought an elevated level of concern in my corner of the universe. It became clear that freedom, integrity, ethics and honesty were being challenged and the need for resistance was increasing. One of the last freedoms we have is the freedom to fight. This is my fight song with an optimistic outlook. The accompanying musicians are all from Half Moon Bay, CA, and I’m grateful they sat in.
Together in insurgency,
Pete Kelly
