The State Of The Union - Thievery Corporation

People live in misery

Government a work but government them is a mockery

Respect to the youths whether in front and all dem a back a me

Why don’t you treat them the way you should

And I know all the things you hide

Even though it’s a good disguise

And I see all the things you do

But what you do will comeback on you

You think we can’t fight what the eyes can’t see

Because we are blinded by poverty

It’s like the people you want them to rebel

And fire gunshots and burn buildings to hell

And after that you a go want treat me well;

It’s like you have the people under a spell

Talking to the people in a congress

A we vote you in, so you must put out your best

After all we no in a contest;

It’s the state of the union address

Broadcasting lies on the television screen

Trying to get us hooked on your American dream

We up on your games if you know what me mean

When you cheated on your wife with your money and your schemes

People rule and a that you fi follow

We and nuh no call me no nigga

Do a good term and you deserve another

Signed musically yours, the general Sleepywonder
