State of Emergency Lyrics

Negative and violent peace was never kept

If absolute power corrupts absolutely

Why aren't we rid of it yet?

Unchecked and unrestrained

Unaccountable we live in fear

The illusion of safety false sense of security

Helpless and self-defenseless

Nothing is left when our rights are gone

One day we will rise to fight your

Tyranny unquestioned we seek retribution

For all your crimes that go unpunished

For all who've suffered at your hands

Causing more harm than good, why would I ever

why would I ever call upon you?

Probable cause probably cause harm

To the same citizens you swore to protect

I find no fucking reason to give you my respect

And when they come for you the warning will be too late

They wrote the laws that protect us and they will... take us away

State of emergency who's here to save you now?

Monopoly on violence we'll cheer when you're brought down

Corrupting the innocent destroying the defenseless

The irony that is not lost

That they protect and serve themselves

Until we kill that Mockingbird

We can't trust the words that we've heard

Don't think that it goes unnoticed

The propaganda that you spread

or the atrocities you commit while

We the people pay your fucking salaries

And then they come for you….

And now they've come for you

The warning it was too late

They wrote these laws to destroy us

and now they take us down!

State of emergency no one can save you now
