Free Fire Zone
Words by Garry Siler, W.J. Bethancourt III © 1993, music by Garry Siler

CHORUS: I don’t want to live in Lebanon. I don’t want to live in Beirut. I don’t want to live in a free-fire zone. Underneath the government’s boot. I want to live in a world of peace. Greed makes freedom a lie. I don’t want to live in a free fire zone — Let’s give space a try. In L.A. the people are rioting, Riots in Chicago too. So many people that are looking for work, So many homeless too. All around the world there’s a chance for peace, So many people have died. I don’t want to live in a free fire zone – Let’s give space a try. I can see a world where we all can be Living together in harmony It may be near and it may be far, Beneath a distant star. Don’t judge a person by the name of their god. Too much war and strife. Don’t judge a person by the money they make Or how they’re living their life. Don’t judge a person by the color of his skin Too many people have died. I don’t want to live in a free fire zone — Let’s give space a try. CHORUS II: Will L.A. be the next Lebanon? Chicago be the next Beirut? Will San Francisco be the next Tiananmen Square Crushed beneath the government’s boot? I don’t want to live in a world of greed Greed makes freedom a lie. I don’t want to live in a free fire zone Let’s give space a try. I don’t want to live in a free fire zone Let’s give space a try.
