Porter Robinson - The State lyrics
[Porter Robinson - The State lyrics]
The State, the government, the supreme
The eternal the aggressor against the
Persons and property
Of the mass of the public
All states, everywhere whether democratic
Dictatorial or monarchical
Whether red, white, blue or brown the State
For centuries
The State has robbed people at bayonet
Point and called it "taxation"
For centuries
The State has enslaved people into it's
Armed battalions and called it "conscription"
The State
Tax slave
The State
For centuries
The State has robbed people at bayonet
Point and called it "taxation"
Coercion and violence by the direct
Threat of confiscation or imprisonment
This is taxation
The State
For centuries
The State has robbed people at bayonet
Point and called it "taxation"
For centuries
The State has enslaved people into it's
Armed battalions and called it "conscription"
The State
The State
