"Laughter In A Police State" lyrics

"Laughter In A Police State"

The government say that it's what we need
To work until we die serving someone else's greed
They separate divide but it's the same red blood we bleed
Rob us of the fruit but we'll always have the seed

So people are speaking out against what they see
Searching for the truth within the promises of liberty
People are imprisoned for what they believe
Or is it just propaganda

Out of the gate we're all quick to defend
The sell out positions white-washed of content
To our hearts discontent
To our hearts discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare and reach beyond it
Do we dare

You screamed in my face but I waited quietly
Religious leaders, politicians, and the lies you say
From the economic poisons of the enemy
To the bottom of the bottle where the poor man stay

Or is it just propaganda

Out of the gate we're all quick to defend
The sell-out position white-washed of content
To our hearts discontent
To our hearts discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare to reach beyond it
Do we dare to stand alone

To stand alone
We stand alone

Do you feel the pressure rising? Whoa
Do you feel the pressure rising? Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

Pressure rising
Push the future
Pressure rising
In the present we

Pressure rising
Push the future
In a house divided
In a house divided
In a house divided
In a house divided we will
In a house divided watch it fall
