State of Emergency |
Like a shadow in the night |
Swallows up that city light |
Like fire in the rain gets put out again |
Like a weapon kept concealed |
Explosive elements reveal |
A criminal inside of you no ground to stand nothing to lose |
The distribution of wealth |
Such a f*cking scam |
That’s why its so hard to survive in this so called promise land |
You gotta do what you got to do to get by |
Facilitate that permanent high |
Smoke filled lungs inside of you |
Its hard to dream of glory when you got something to prove |
Sometimes were all victims of depression and unrest |
Some people got no heart that’s just the way its always been |
Some never find what their looking for |
Few get what they want and fewer get more |
Sometimes you got to cross that line |
When you ain’t got enough to get by |
Like an angel lost in hell |
I walk a path i know so well |
I feel lost in a familiar way another memory i can’t explain |
Cos its the bottle that seems to flow |
Through another day of the drunk unknown |
I’m looking for a fight at 11.15 on a saturday night |
Wake up on sunday morning |
To the sound of breaking glass & sirens calling |
Bricks & bottles in the street |
Alert the police, it’s a state of emergency |
And the traffic lights all go blinking red |
And a voice on the radio says 'get out while you can' |
And in the gridlock panic sets in |
And there ain’t no engine built fast enough |
To outride the Armageddon |
And if you don’t give it up i’m gonna take it |
And how long did you think you could keep me tricked? |
I’ll be cold walking thru the backbay flinging bricks |
