State of Emergency Lyrics

Cops in the streets

Rifles armed

Shoot to kill

At first sight

Maniacs everywhere

Everybody's a suspect

They're the state's tool

But no one's safe anyway

Don't get fooled

They're here to stay

They don't even know they're just another target

And as we see them grow they're becoming another threat

Army marching

Is that supposed

To make us feel relieved?

Can you imagine if we opposed

The life we could lead

This is not a protest song

It's a song to put you to the test

I know deep in my heart I can't be wrong

'Cos any one of us could be the next

We'd ignore fear if we stood proud and tall

Sisters and brothers can't you hear?

We'd ignore fear if we stood proud and tall

Mothers and daughters hear

This is the final call

This is the final call

This is the final call

This is the final call

This is the final call
