State of Emergency Lyrics


What's going on all over this whole wide world?
What's going on all over this whole wide world?Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary
Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessaryWhat is going on in addy planet Earth? Dat ah where we live it addy place of our birth
Madness and mayhem man the world is corrupt, like a volcano it soon will eruptCalling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary
Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessaryLook at the people in the streets, everywhere they don't seem like they care
And everyone is getting mad, it just seems like we've all lost the plotCalling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary
999 there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessaryThese cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
All these cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
State of emergency, I'm gonna tell everyoneCheck it out blood it ain't meant to be
The way they carry on man it's so crazy
When I think trouble is coming for me
I lay down in my bed and call the almighty
Now everybody can see hate is ugly and it's everywhere
You say you wanner be free
Yet everyday for the war you prepare
Calling there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessary
911 there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessaryThese cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
All these cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higherWhat's going on all over this whole wide world?

What's going on all over this whole wide world?New York London Paris and Pill

Skindred is a four-piece "ragga metal" band from Newport, Wales. Their genre is an innovative mix of metal, punk, and reggae. The band was formed in 1999 following the disbandment of vocalist Benji Webbe's previous band, Dub War and his one-off side-project mass mental? featuring Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, Metallica) released the year prior.

The band initially came together with three of the four Dub War veterans with Jeff Rose and Martin Ford returning alongside Webbe, along with new bassist Daniel Pugsley. The group released their debut LP Babylon in July 2002, with sporadic success in parts of Europe and the U.S. metal underground. However after suffering years of indifference and waning support from Earache Records with Dub War and now seeing the same lack of label support from RCA for Skindred, Rose and Ford amicably left the band in November of 2002, but would continue to offer their support.

Soon Webbe had hooked up with guitarist Mikey Dee, and drummer Dirty Arya and continued on, but it wasn't until a year or so later and Lava Records' involvement that the album really took off. Skindred re-released Babylon in August 2004. Lava's version featured different cover art, and included newly recorded material in addition to the original, Howard Benson-helmed songs. Skindred then headed out on a series of tours with acts like Sevendust, Nonpoint, and Papa Roach, and never looked back.
