Heaters

Ill Scarlett

We are livin' in a police state
Situations getting grave
Right now
I'm takin' it

We are livin' in a police state
More than your rights at stake
Right Now
I'm takin' it



Heaters got my town
Infiltratin' the air yeah
Locking down the masses
Even to scare ya
We don't have to deal with this shit
To serve and protect yo I ain't buying it.

Do it for the power
They're abusing the glory
Strip away the badge
And you'll still be out
_____
Fightin' the fight for the people right.


We are, livin' in a police state
Situations getting grave
Right now
It's over yeah.

We are, livin' in a police state
More than your rights at stake
Right now
I'm takin' it.


Get ready cuz its time to go
Heaters movin' in and before you know it
They've got us all surrounded
The call has been sounded
This is how its goin' down tonight.

Tonight now we set things right
And besides who'd wanna live and die
In this mess we made
Its so depraved
What happened to my freedom
And you'll find me
Lying on the floor
Thinking about war
Thinking about war
Don't wanna do this anymore
They paraded
I'll be waiting for
The perfect time to strike


We are livin' in a police state (we are)
Situations getting grave (we are)
Right now (we are)
We are takin' it

We are livin' in a police state
More than your rights at stake
Right now
I'm takin' it.

Right now (we are) its on (we are) oh yeah
We are.

    orangefriend, you moron, it's a play on words they don't literally mean this is a police state we live in, they're just trying to say how much blind faith we've put into cops

    I keep hearing this on the radio and it's driving me mad. Do they even KNOW what a police state is? If this was a police state, do they think this song would even BE on the radio? Stop selling crack and maybe you won't see so much of the police. This would be okay if it was obvious they were joking or something (the band is clearly not of the culture their music is emulating), but it sounds exactly like the type of whiny air-headed protest piece it's pretending to be. This adds nothing to an already irritating genre. I bet the one with the dreads wrote this.
