They keep on saying that this is the end
But you know that we've heard it before.
Feels like they're sucking up all of the power
But they still keep asking for more.
We gotta take control and wrestle back the gold
From the ones who took it away.
But it's hard to make a move when they're always watching you
And you're trying to just get through the day.
It's Lonely, and it's frightening outside.
And you're only trying to keep yourself alive.
You better watch your back. Clean your plate.
Cuz you know we're living in a Police State.
Pay your debt. Watch your weight.
But don't you ever think about running away.
But it's lonely, and we're barely getting by.
Are the cronies trying to starve us from inside?
They keep on looking for the mark of the beast
On every goddamn thing that they see.
Feels like we've living in a bad sit-com
Just watching ourselves on the screen.
So we got a new control from the Apple Store
We don't want to be left behind.
But the ceiling got raised and the $ got slain
By the fascists who control our mind.
But they're only trying to keep us laying down.
So we've only got to burn it the ground.
You better watch your back. Clean your plate.
Cuz you know we're living in a Police State.
Take your stand. Seal your fate.
But don't you ever think about running away.
You better watch your back. Clean your plate.
Cuz you know we're living in a Police State.
Pay your debt. Watch your weight.
But don't you ever think about running away.
You better watch your back. Clean your plate.
Cuz you know we're living in a Police State.
Make your bed. Stay up late.
But don't you ever think about running away.
