well i was born unaware
of the pain i'd soon receive
i lost that sparkle in my eye
just as soon as i could see
well we are living in a police state
and they are slowly taking our rights away
got us all so ignorant
stand up, i don't know how
and our poor constitution means nothing, nothing, nothing
means nothing now
well i was born in the south
with a bible in my hand
and i was taught to shut my mouth
and criticize what i can't understand
see we are living in a police state
and they are slowly taking our rights away
got us all so ignorant
stand up, you don't know how
and your poor constitution means nothing, nothing, nothing
and we are living in a police state
and they are slowly taking our rights away
got us all so ignorant
stand up, you don't know how
our poor constitution means nothing, nothing, nothing
means nothing now
