Lyrics
Corporate lawyers told me, you can't service that
equipment without our blessing, I told them,
get off my property.
They build them with a back door
And they build them with a lock
Tryin' to bleed the small town clinics right around the clock
Saying only certified company men can turn a single screw
Selling $30 parts for $30 ,000 new
Well, I was raised in a hill country where a man respects his word
And that corporate brand of thievery is the worst I ever heard I bought my own
diagnostic gear, reverse engineered the board
Standing as a rebel shield for the local county ward
They can't threaten with their lawsuits
They can't threaten with their fine I'm holding down the repair on the healthcare
line I'm a right to repair rebel with a wrench in my hand
Fighting for the hospitals across this mighty land
Boom, chicka -boom, hear the telecaster cry
The independent biomed will never die
We own the right to fix it, we own the right to save
We ain't taking orders to the corporate grave
Stand your ground, don't ever bend
An outlaw technician to the very end
I helped ten rural clinics keep the doors wide open free
Saved the millions on the contracts with an honest man's decree
When an old ventilator breaks, I don't ask for company keys I just
open up the chassis and eliminate the disease
They call me an outlaw but the country doctors know
i'm the only reason that their healing lights can glow i'm a right
to repair a rebel with a ranch in my hand fighting for the
hospitals across this mighty land boom checka boom hear the
telecaster cry The independent biomed will never
die We on the right to fix it
We on the right to save
We ain't taking orders to the corporate grave
Stand your ground
Don't ever bend.
An outlaw technician to the very end.
Right to repair is freedom.
God bless the independent tech.
