Jaya The Cat State Of Emergency Lyrics

State Of Emergency Lyrics

like a shadow in the night



swallows up that city light



like fire in the rain gets put out again



like a weaponkept concealed



explosive elements reveal



a criminal inside of you no ground to stand nothing to lose







the distribution of wealth



such a fucking scam



that's why its so hard to survive in this so called promise land



you gotta do what you got to do to get by



facilitate that permanent high



smoke filled lungs inside of you



its hard to dream of glory when you got something to prove



sometimes were all victims of depression and unrest



some people got no heart that's just the way its always been



some never find what their looking for



few get what they want and fewer get more



sometimes you got to cross that line



when you aint got enough to get by







like an angel lost in hell



i walk a path i know so well



i feel lost in a familiar way another memory i cant explain



cos its the bottle that seems to flow



through another day of the drunk unknown



im looking for a fight at 11.15 on a saturday night







wake up on sunday morning



to the sound of breaking glass & sirens calling



bricks & bottles in the street



alert the police, it's a state of emergency







and the traffic lights all go blinking red



and a voice on the radio says 'get out while you can'



and in the gridlock panic sets in



and there ain't no engine built fast enough



to outride the Armageddon



and if you don't give it up i'm gonna take it



and how long did you think you could keep me tricked?



i'll be cold walking thru the backbay flinging bricks
