Lyrics

The State
The State, the government, the supreme, the eternal
The aggressor against the persons and property of the mass of the public
All states, everywhere
Whether democratic, dictatorial, or monarchical
Whether red, white, blue or brown
The State
For centuries the State has robbed people at bayonet point, and called it "taxation"
For centuries the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions, and called it "conscription"
The State
The State
For centuries the State has robbed people at bayonet point, and called it "taxation"
Coercion and violence by the direct threat of confiscation or imprisonment
This is taxation
The State
For centuries the State has robbed people at bayonet point, and called it "taxation"
For centuries the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions, and called it "conscription"
The State
The State
