The State
Statement 8
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I'm the state, you might have seen me at your door, collecting taxes that you never voted for I used to be in bed with popes and kings, now I whistle to the tune of corporate board meetings Even if the majority doesn't want to send off the troops I'll deploy them anyway to befriend investment groups If you want to live, then listen to what I say I'm backed by investors who are all opposed to change You can vote for little things but never ever for radical change You think I want to share my power with somebody who don't wanna play my game? I've got you good in a threefold stranglehold, made up of your job, your mortgage and your loans I might have been created for the good of society, but now I've mutated into a plutocracy Now, if you've been hassled by my henchmen the police And find yourself in court to defend your liberty Remember this: the judge is always right All the more because he's a real close friend of mine With the law on my side and the army up my sleeve You can vote all you want, but I'm never ever going to leave
