The State (SKisM Remix) Lyrics

The StateThe State, the government, the supreme, the eternal
The aggressor against the persons and property of the mass of the public
All states, everywhere
Whether democratic, dictatorial or monarchical
Whether red, white, blue or brown
The StateFor centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it "taxation"
For centuries, the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions and called it "conscription"The StateThe StateFor centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it "taxation"
Coercion and violence by the direct threat of confiscation or imprisonment
This is taxationThe StateFor centuries, the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it "taxation"
For centuries, the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions and called it "conscription"The StateThe State
