Track 8: Freedom of choice
________________________________________
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
Just use your freedom of choice
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient rome there was a pawn
Who faught alone
And watched it fall
He cast a stone
He felt secure
He felt that hed never be hurt
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Give into the voice
You dont want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
In ancient rome there was a pawn
Who faught alone
And watched it fall
He cast a stone
He felt secure
He felt that his voice would never be heard
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice!
Is what you want
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice!
Is what you want
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
Freedom from choice!

All a perfect circle songs in this user
Wow ! This is brilliant stuff !!
This song is about how people with freedom neglect their own individuality and conform to "freedom from choice"...simply because they feel alone .
There's too much love in the air on this page!
I realized that the best life is one with nothing to hold back on, taking everything at more than one point of view and keeping my head held high in defiance against bullshitters and that destructive beating drum that will haunt this country's image till it's buried in its inevitable grave soon enough to come. I sure as hell doubt that we will rise again, but I sure as hell wont go down with my tail between my legs. I can still live under my own voice and that's what I'm going to do.
I'm a DEVO fan and am partial to their version. But I like how this band made this song their own. Good job.
APC's cover is most excellent!
The perfect alrounded band!
Also Maynard Keenan, you are the man because you saved my life with your music.
"DUDE THIS ROCKS!"
devolution in action!
@davernification the illusion of choice is what is stopping the Establishment from being overthrown. I forgot what my coment was but Im agreeing with what your saying.
Peace.
Awesome cover-track !!
So I joined the party a little late lol. I haven't heard this song. I saw both Devo and Tool at Lollapalooza one year and this is a great cover.
DAMN RIGHT, i listen to TOOL & A Perfect Circle, that proves i am
I choose...to ride the wave and hope for the best.
words can inspire someone to do something that you cant.
Yup, i get that a LOT!
May your children be born with the ability to think of a better comeback than you've come up with...Let it go
How about instead of arguing about who did it better, let's talk about the song's profound meaning.
there is choice but consequence determines which ones we make.
excellent
: ) Whatever Sandman, you know i'm not annoying you!
@D0W666 i respect you so much brother, you have truly chosen the path of understanding, light,and love. this path is the hardest to follow and yields the least rewards, but in human morals it reaps the best reward. i on the other hand took the easy path of darkness vengeance, and power, i can never turn back now and my consciousness will never ascend, i have strode proudly through the realms of otherworld and been granted strength infinite but you are the true humans who will free us all
DEVO every time for me
Whip it, whip it good.
I think people are missing the point that emotive was a covers album. Freedom Of Choice was originally by Devo...
Yes sir use it
No one knows me
That’s my voice
The rule of thumb
That’s your choice☮️
I have my voice and it will be heard
@D0W666, exactly well said man, i totally agree
I’m everything
No thanks.
I may disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it!
Namaste Merry Wanma
@ArchangelVampire its cause manard's voice makes them all so emotional :)
lol True.
@Deadpool458 your face is quite amusing to say the least
ZING!
closed means: free of influences from outside the system. But the important point is: it is not possible that a system exist without influences from outside (an engine not only needs a creator who lives outside the engine, but also fuel which comes from outside the engine ;) )
The cool thing is: this principle not only works for engines, mathematics and society but even for the universe itself.
But dont forget: if you now think that there must be a god outside, you have to apply this principle
@Deadpool458 Well said, i'd have to agree
@Deadpool458 Don't blame them, they've just choosed to swim.
holy crap when i was listening to ashes divide i was wondering who sounds like that then i saw the name billy howerdel
@wetcigcom I love man sticks.
I love this song anyway.
I interpreted this track to be the story of how America is governed as a nation ruled by its people and its constantly printed and screened into minds that this is the land of the free, you have freedom of choice. And that its not really freedom of choice because they manipulate you into thinking you do my giving you choices.
Although im confused about the Roman tale
It's billy who sings this one !
You're given a choice,
You don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
You've got two ways to go
I'll say it again, in the land of the free
Just use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice...
Where, exactly, did I say that I was satisfied with this world?
@beyer66 no there is a back up vocalist who rarely sings a song but he isnt the only singer
Q: Are We not Men?
A: We are DEVO!
this song is about voicing opinions and your telling people they shouldnt have opinions or voice them and just listen to the music
@TheMauricesherwood Looks like someone miss the point of the Album. It doesn't matter, but you should really listen to this album song-by-song and try to understand what it means, It's an "eye opener". best wishes.
@cpete2475 im pretty sure that it sounds like billy howerdel singing in this song, maynard is singing backups i think
Freese has drummed for Devo at times. It's true.
@pantscheese Yes it is. Get your hands on The Master Key System by Charles Haanel and/or the Cosmic Trigger 1 by Robert Anton Wilson. Or don't... your choice.
Its your choice what you do with what you've got. I'm just pointing people in the right direction.
''The world within is the world without'' never forget this simple essential truth. You have the power to change what you want to change. And, ''Its the journey, not the destination''.
Fear? or love? It really is that simple.
XXX
There wont be any more APC albums.

I'd collect quotes all day if I could. "Mad meaning enraged, angry has been used since 1300, and this sense is a very common one. Because some teachers and usage critics insist that the only correct meaning of mad is mentally disturbed, insane, mad is often replaced by angry in formal contexts"
emphasis on the VERY COMMON.... tell you what though, make a time machine go back in time & mix it up so we can all speak Brythonic or Old Norse (Y)
lolz you two love birds just stop it :P
I love women!
In ancient rome
There was a poem
About a dog
Who found two bones
He picked up one
He licked the other one
Then he went psycho
He's now dead.
@1234animecrazy Who is Fu Mancho ???? Say whaaaaaaaaaat??
Get your hands on 'The Action Is Go', in my humble opinion their greatest album.
Check out their 'main' number from said album 'Evil-Eye' for a taster to what they sound like. Classic Skater-Grunge Rock type thing.
@MillCityPersons Best comment on this video.
Interesting is that we do not have a choice of anything. In physic exist something like cause-and-effect. I am speak about "determinism".. Every choice made by you was caused by something happened before. Something caused something and that something was caused by "big bang", where started everything.
Ya, the lyrics are different for the APC version. I. E. victims of sedition; sink, swim or go down with the ship instead of sank, swam and went.
: D
Is that so, you're a kind person?
Is this one of the ones that Billy sang on?
Why is there just nothing at the end of a few of these videos?
@Ilovelarxene True. People need to learn to respect eachother's beliefs
@D0W666 I agree with you, now.. the rest of 7 billion ppl shouldn't find it hard to agree with . Right?
Goedel says: "a system (in this case the universe) cannot be complety defined by only the information it CONTAINS - only if there is also influencing/defining information from the outside..
NO free will (a deterministic universe) only exists inside a closed system which is an insufficient description of our universe.
Because of that even deep science agrees with the freedom of choice -
Maynard understands that - you schould too...for your own good and those around you...
whats wrong with this tyrannous world in which people can compete for power and money? As a great political thinker of the Renaissance Botticelli said, "it is better to be hated than to be loved." The end justifies the means.
@Deadpool458 eventually we all
why did that end?
Oh, alright. I see your point. That's perfectly understandable, really. I dislike people who go around and flaunt their mental illness as well. I've met a lot of them, myself. Or they just use it as an excuse. The most annoying thing to see is people who enjoy pretending to be bipolar or ADD. Now, those people are some real bastards. ;)
@beyer66 His son sang backup on 13th step.
@ArchangelVampire Arguments/Debates are one of the only ways I know of people coming to change their minds. Even if nobody does "win" (which I know is not true through experience), the two people, and those watching still gain knowledge. If you don't like seeing arguments, ignore them.. they don't stop you or anyone else from enjoying the video.
people need to understand we're past the point of competition, money is now irrelevant, there is enough to go around.
WAKE UP
GIVE A SHIT
Isn't it true that the old drummer for Devo is the drummer Perfect Circle?
yeah use your freedom of choice and stop arguing
and what is your source for this "information"
The opening line actually uses "sedition" instead of collision.
HEY GABY... you know what would be awesome? making these apc uploads available on mobile. that would be awesome. because every version of emotive is pc only.
I'm listening to this on my phone.
well I'm from England and people do use mad for both expressions mad insane and mad angry.
how the fuck did it get this far down the page before someone noticed this.
Im sry but i think this version is awesome.Its better to me.Its not a electro punkish but its sounds better to me
Ewww, no! Whose flirting, i'm listening to A Perfect Circle
this should have come out in "IMMORTALS" or "300".
Fu Manchu's version owns this
no one's gonna mention the drums are they
It is Maynard. Ha ha.
makes me want to go fight somebody
I love how youtube isn't even a place to enjoy music and videos anymore. It's just a place where people come to watch videos and start MEANINGLESS arguements that never end with anyone winning. Seriously. Why put forth the effort
i want manard
@Zuklar I will agree but I'm just saying be cautious! lol shrooms are not to be laughed at. If not for shrooms and maynard I would still be a zombie. I don't care what anyone says it opens your 3rd eye and forces you to reflect inward, outward and all the fuck over
@Deadpool458 *amusing
well, if determinism is a system itself, then from where are coming the initial rules for determinism? Certainly not from determinism! But if so, its internal structure cannot be determined by our view of logic, because logic itself is determined by it! But then it would be foolish to see determinism as an ultimate cause, it is merely a piece in a hierarchy. Of course the question remains with wich part of the hierachy you´re identifying with.
I think it's "Victims of sedition" instead of "A victim of collision". Good song, though.
almost as good as the devo original. freakin awesome
@D0W666 It's not that simple.
umm hey, the first line doesnt say 'a victim of collision' its 'a victim of sedition' ._.;;
@ArchangelVampire True, I liked to read comments to hear opinions of people about the song and such, and now I don't even read comments, there's NOTHING related to the music or the song in them Whut?
@Sparks424 sort of agree but theres no need to kill. just needs everybody moving in unison then non participation by everybody and i mean everybody then they fucked.simples
i swear he sounds like the dude from Ashes Divide XD still, APC and ashes Divide rule ,\,,/
@seasofluck Pretentious? Elaborate
