Burn tha state

It makes me bleed since i can read, it wastes my dreams to pay his bill
Every day I work and feed his banks, fuck that, I don't want to take part in that
I never had the feeling I belonged to a nation,
a thousand rules and laws , a fucked up constitution
I don't want to work to build this fucking kingdom,
I'm not ready to waste my time & loose my freedom

Won't you stay One more day
You can't complain You chose this way
Till' your death You'll walk so straight
oh yeah yeah, change this state
Won't you stay One more day
You wanna play but You're gonna pay
Day by day You seat and pray oh yeah yeah, change this state
Won't you stay One more day oh yeah yeah, change this state
You can't complain You chose this way oh yeah yeah, change this state

Why are you suffering ?
Why are you shutting up ?
Why are you cryin' ?

Wake up man ! The choice is yours, change this state, nothing to loose
Just pay the tax, we must be making tracks, pack your bags,
you know we can't change the past
Think for yourself and choose your own way,
don't act as they do and pretend it's okay
Watcha gonna say when they'll ask for their due,
it's time to react cause this hell is true

And it's getting worse & worse, your whole life seems like a curse
You're suffering in silence, now that they've bought your conscience
You owe them a complete obedience, and they profit from your ignorance
Take a look at what's going on, can't you see the damage done?
Refuse this state and choose your own way and maybe one day you might say...
