Police State

Police State
 (Selwyn Birchwood, Selwyn Birchwood Music

 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
