Lyrics
Divided State
Roll up, Roll up Roll up my friends to the show that eon’t start before it ends…
Dim the house lights
As this cold winter bites
‘hunger-games’ underway
But we’ve no mocking Jay
A fear we can’t cope
In a life without hope
The jesters distraught
Knows his time is so short
And actors can’t say
When the minstrels might play
( bridge)
All gotta retrain.. for political gain ?
BURN DOWN THE THEATRE’S
tear down the halls
BATTEN DOWN HATCHES
no more curtain calls
No god given right to walk in the light!!
Chorus
ANSWER YOUR CALLING JERICHOS FALLING the fire in your soul departs, MASKING OUR VOICES, DENYING US CHOICES, UNITED WE STAND This Devided state of the Arts..
LINES DRAWN IN THE SAND
...This divided state of the arts!!
Back into school
Learn to break every rule
Refuse to conform
To what they deem the norm
You can’t leave behind
Your cre-ative mind
As you long for the stage
To share anger and rage
But they’ll never see
What it’s like to be free
(Bridge)
The Empire strikes back ..with its death star attack! Solo ( vocal
commentary)
Burnt earth that scorches with pitchfork and torches,The Lynch Mon’s begun Now the Luddites are one, Cos we didn’t Vote for your drawbridge and moat, And we can’t have our say, when you won’t let us play, But we will rise up we shall return from the ashes of all that you let Burn….
Hey out there, you know what they say
No taxation without representation
WE GOTTA TURN THIS THING AROUND
Chorus then WE’VE ALL BEEN PLAYED ON THIS MASQUERADE….
