State of Emergency

[Verse 1]
There is a riot on the streets and all I can see is disaster
So run faster
They got heavies in a jeep
With their targets on the weak
They’re gunning for you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
They breed like rats as the system fails
To eat your rights away
Our police state now, it's a living hell
There’s no place for you and me

[Chorus]
In this a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
For you, and me

[Verse 2]
When bullshit rules
You can’t fight it with truth
Havе they distracted us to forgetting
What about Grеnfell?
The Panama Papers?
Why are British bombs destroying Yemen?

[Pre-Chorus]
The high streets dead
Yet no one speaks
You’re all glued from screen to screen
When it’s your front door
They’re kicking for
Where’s your sense of community?

[Chorus]
In this state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
Let’s make them rue the day they thought they could finally come for you and me
In this state of emergency

[Verse 3]
There’s a virus on the streets
But on T.V. there’s no answer
So run faster
The one percent got their tests
Fear’s left the rest a mess
The rich own your right to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
When they feast like pigs
Our democracy fails
They vote your rights away
So stand your ground
This time we won’t back down
In this state of emergency

[Chorus]
It’s a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
Protect your fellow man
Find the strength to stand
This time, for you and me
In this state of emergency
