Negation State Lyrics & Tabs by The Shamen
Negation State
guitar chords lyrics
Get real, open your eyes up
You better turn on, tune in and wise up
This is not a figment or a fantasy
As a matter of fact it is reality
Feel the poison floating in the air
Take a look now, do you despair?
And could it happen, and could it be true?
Steal from the many and give it to the few
You take a crack, a smack and then they pass around
Screw you up and that's how they keep you down
Then they have you in the palm of their hand
Then they have you and you'll never understand
Altered state, altered state
Altered state
Altered state, altered state
Altered state, altered state
Altered state
Altered state, altered state
Altered state
Dead dreams, running in the streets
The country's raged by the robbers and the cheats
They'll lead you by their hand into the promised land
To the next world, that's the Third World
Chilling down the hospitals and factories
Filling up room in the cemeteries
You better get down, grovel in the dust
On your face now, burn a heart
How long will it take for you to see the fight?
That they always have to do their time
Doing their time, select the place
Debris hacked away but in your face
Altered state, altered state
Altered state
Altered state, altered state
Altered state
But seriously this is getting critical
I'm breaking the door, a dirty criminal
All that is, they want to take it all
Down on hands and knees, they want to see you crawl
Like a child, we tear your toys
But you are silent, didn't make a noise
You were guilty and you hoped you could deceive
The workers upset I do believe
Rough justice, tough luck
But it seems like no one gives a f*ck
Say a prayer, is he ever this late?
And it seems we're living in an altered state
Altered state, altered state
Altered state
Altered state, altered state
Altered state
