Songtext von The State

I was free to live and love And kill as I saw fit I was at peace, there really was No one I was at war with The only common good Was that we understood That laws unjust Were only good for breaking That difference legalized instead of sameness Left nobody free That was the day before I married my conscience to the state My taxes paid, these roads were laid To places of my choosing There were no eyes up in the skies Looking down into my bed There was no government without our consent Keys were made for anyone who just claimed it Glass was all of every wall that framed it From sea to shining sea That was the day before I married my conscience to the state Right and wrong were written on my heart And not just in the laws that condemn me Now with caesar satisfied I can even do the things That should offend me
