I Am The State

Starving out the many while I only feed the few

Maintain the wealth that keeps me in control of you

Clean on the surface so you won't see my deceit

Even though I'm slithering just beneath your feet

Extend my reign into foreign lands

Flexing my muscle anywhere I can

I keep the power and swallow you whole

Cutting off your life support, I follow through

From way up here my vision's distorted

Cannot maintain what I once supported

I keep you safe, secure and protected

Until my self-indulgence has been perfected

I am the state

I decide your fate

Deliver to all

I bring the downfall

Making up your mind is everything I do

Doing the right thing is never up to you

Get you on board only to betray your trust

I will cut you off when I say you've had enough
