State of Dysfunction
In times like these, we don't have each other
Cause the fires of our spirits lay smothered
They say that life is better under systems
But it was long, long ago that they lost their wisdom
The pigs that feed us never wore glasses
They never thought about the needs of the masses
They give us drugs to keep us unaware
But it's just fodder to distract us from the ashes in the air
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Corrupted minds plot our destruction
While those of us that know what's right work construction
We gobble up the lies and ignore the infection
They watch us like fish in a tank for our protection
Don't you see, they're trying to deceive you
Can you see into the TVs they talk through
It's getting harder to ignore the seduction
We all grew up in a state of dysfunction
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Cross your heart and hope to die
Before they catch you in their line of sight
We're all doomed and we're all hopeless
Unless we fit into the molds of the soulless
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Fill us with illness so we can't fight back
They're biding their time until we attack
It's getting harder to ignore the corruption
A lie becomes the truth in this state of dysfunction
Cause the fires of our spirits lay smothered
They say that life is better under systems
But it was long, long ago that they lost their wisdom
The pigs that feed us never wore glasses
They never thought about the needs of the masses
They give us drugs to keep us unaware
But it's just fodder to distract us from the ashes in the air
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Corrupted minds plot our destruction
While those of us that know what's right work construction
We gobble up the lies and ignore the infection
They watch us like fish in a tank for our protection
Don't you see, they're trying to deceive you
Can you see into the TVs they talk through
It's getting harder to ignore the seduction
We all grew up in a state of dysfunction
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Cross your heart and hope to die
Before they catch you in their line of sight
We're all doomed and we're all hopeless
Unless we fit into the molds of the soulless
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Enemy of the state, the state of dysfunction
I think it's time that we taught them a lesson
You can't strike the innocent if they don't strike first
Unless someone else has done something worse
Fill us with illness so we can't fight back
They're biding their time until we attack
It's getting harder to ignore the corruption
A lie becomes the truth in this state of dysfunction
