Police State

Police State (Selwyn Birchwood, Selwyn Birchwood Music Admin. by Eyeball Music, BMI) Sayin' you got the right to remain silent Seems they got the right, lord, to remain violent Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late Or we'll be trapped in a police state If we don't learn from history Lord it's bound, bound to repeat Take a look around ya, what do you see? A nation buzzing with brutality Sayin' you got the right to remain silent Seems they got the right, Lord, to remain violent Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late Or we'll be trapped in a police state Can't ignore the headlines Citizens getting beat Can't help but wonder Who's policing the police? How does this happen in the land of free? Got us heated up and mad enough To protest it in the street Sayin' you got the right to remain silent Seems they got the right, Lord, to remain violent Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late Or we'll be trapped in a police state I'm not talkin' bout black I'm not talkin' bout white I just wanna do my part to bring the dark The darkness to the light I'm not talkin' bout left Don't wanna hear about right I'm talkin' bout wrong and right And the sacrifice of innocent human life With a right to remain silent Seems they got the right, Lord, to remain violent Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late Or we'll be trapped in a police state Or we'll be trapped in a police state Or we'll be trapped in a police state
