Gunnin' down kids in the streets
State violence against the threat of democracy
ICE forcing hysterectomies
Where all y'all pro life now
Babies detained unlawfully
Bombs, bullets, aid for iron fists
Death, pain and suffering for peasant civilians
Propaganda machine fine tuned
Real news ain't news, the news fake news we all doomed
Pull out the guillotine
Cut em up
Let's start clean
For reasons of state
Sow seeds of hate
Make ya believe
We each others enemy
Death squads, support for terrorists
Our legacy to the world no divine benevolence
Murder King, X, Evers, Hampton
Any effort to resist will be undone
National interest what its called when we go to war despite majority appalled
Amazon, banks and senators get filthy rich while we all fall in bread lines
Makes me sick
For reasons of state
Sow seeds of hate
Make ya believe
We each others enemy
The state is the organized authority, domination, and power of the possessing classes Over the masses
The most flagrant, the most cynical, and the most complete negation of humanity
It shatters the universal solidarity of all men on the earth
And brings some of them into association only for the purpose of destroying, conquering And enslaving all the rest
This flagrant negation of humanity which constitutes the very essence of the State
Is from the standpoint the state, its supreme duty and greatest virtue
Thus, to offend, to oppress, to despoil, to plunder, to assassinate or enslave ones Fellowman
Is ordinarily regarded as a crime
In public life on the other hand, from the standpoint of patriotism
When these things are done for the greater glory of the state
For the preservation or the extension of its power
It is all transformed into duty and virtue
There is no horror, no cruelty, sacrilege, or perjury, no imposture, no infamous Transaction
No cynical robbery, no bold plunder or shabby betrayal
That has not been or is not daily being perpetrated by the representatives of the states
Under no other pretext than those elastic words
So convenient and yet so terrible
For reasons of state
Dealing in straight power concepts
Grand area here comes the empire
NSC 68, domino theory, monolithic conspiracy
Acheson, Dulles Kennan on fire
Subjugate all countries to the national interest of private corporations
Any attempt at self determination will result in severe punishment
Including but not limited to invasion
At home COINTELPRO, crisis of democracy, assassination and brutality
Abroad death squads, state terrorism, support for dictators and fiscal austerity
Indochina, Japan, Korea, Russia, Central and Latin America too
Palestine, Iran, East Timor, Cuba
Pretty much anywhere on the map that ain't blue
For reasons of state
Sow seeds of hate
Make ya believe
We each others enemy
Gunnin' down kids in the streets
State violence against the threat of democracy
ICE forcing hysterectomies
Where all y'all pro life now
Babies detained unlawfully
