State of Nature - King 810

When I was growing up not long ago though it seems like it’s so far away

We played under the sun we didn’t plug ourselves in were made to pray at the

end of the day

Now everythings changing these people aren’t real

And our children are dying cuz they’re hard and don’t feel

And its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill and its mothers go bury

your sons

All I smell is smoke when I step outside

And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive

And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal

Remember when cowboys were cowboys and only children played pretend

Remember when a man was a man not a product or a title or a brand

Now everything’s changing these people aren’t real and we have no heroes

They’re pink in the middle

They don’t say what they mean they don’t do what they say they won’t stand here

and die for it

All I smell is smoke when I step outside

And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive

And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal

And the shadows from the buildings just kill the trees

And the only thing we’re good at is spreading disease

And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal

Remember when we hadn’t a worry

And things just moved slower no we weren’t in such a hurry

And we weren’t dying so we didn’t have to bury our brothers and sisters in the

dirt

Now everything changing these people aren’t real

And our children are dying cuz they’re hard and can’t feel

And its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill

And its I die if I don’t shoot first…

And you can’t kill something that doesn’t care if it lives

And I’m sinking with my city like a captain and ship

And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal
