lyrics

STATE OF THE STATE
1997 Greg Matwijiszyn & Jimmy Williams

State of the state
State of the state
State of the state
State of the state

Our so-called leaders refuse to act for the best
Lackeys responsive to the powerful interests
No faith in institutions, and it's no surprise
The steamroller of will fueled by incessant corporate lies

State of the state (Crumbling under its oppressive weight)
State of the state (Crumbling under its oppressive weight)
State of the state (Crumbling under its oppressive weight)
State of the state (Crumbling under its oppressive weight)

Mangy tail wagging the disoriented dog
Voices are stifled by impenetrable fog
The masses abdicated to the status quo
Discourse becomes a finger pointing rock throwing show

Silence is deafening
Not signaling apathy but discontent
Silence is deafening
The roar of disillusion - message sent

State of the state - What's the use of having a voice
State of the state - When we're never even given a choice
State of the state - Just leave me the room to sigh
State of the state - As I wonder if we'll ever try

Silence is deafening (4X)
