The State Of The Union - Thievery Corporation

The people live in misery

Govemment a work

But govemment them is a monckery

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 we see all the things you do

And 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

The people live in misery

And all dem a back a me

Why don't you treat

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

The people live in misery
