Lyrics State of the Union - Chicago

State of the Union

I was talking bout the state of the union
How theres no one now in power thinking of me
I was saying how we ought to try to fix it Find a leader who is not afraid to be Then a voice came out of the darkness
Saying «tear the system down»
Tear it down
I was thinking bout how that was very crazy
And I tried to find a way to tell him so But when I did I used a word that was quite nasty
How the policeman heard me man Ill never know
Then a voice came out of the darkness
Saying «tear the system down»
Tear it down;
down to the ground
I was wrestled of to one side of the theater
And they said Id have to go right to jail
They dont permit coarse language in their city
But they did accept a large amount of bail
Then a voice came out of the darkness
Saying «tear the system down»
Tear it down;
down to the ground
