Poetry for the State
Poetry for the state telling you we own your fate
Time will tell you after it's too late
Did I mention that it's poetry for the state
Alibis, and apple pies to make you feel satisfied!
Poetry for the state teaching youth how to hate
making enemies before second grade
It's all that poetry written by the state
Phony polls and cinnamon rolls to make it easy to decide!
How do we know what to believe?
It's all bullsh*t disguised in poetry
I hear what they say, it don't match what I see
They only pull us down
Poetry for the state making fools heads of state
With future plans and powers to persuade
Lets all hail to the poetry of the state
Interviews and breaking news to make you feel notified!
Color codes and rocky roads to make you feel terrified!
How do we know what to believe?
It's all bullsh*t disguised in poetry
I hear what they say, it don't match what I see
They only pull us down, down, down
