Police State Lyrics – The Criminal Minds
Singer: The Criminal Minds
Title: Police State
Fast furious the car screeched into view, like fire the fear spread through my crew
Scattered, the crew broke into a run, to get away from the trooper with a shotgun
Lights in the sky, lead filled the air, scatter kill or wound the police don’t care
A scream, a thump, damn, another friends down, got to keep on running, no time to look around
Turn the corner, a feeling of safety, more shots across how many left just me
Stop a second just to catch a breath, move on again just to escape the death
An open door, a gap, a place to hide, a quick glance, not a soul, I slip inside
Shut the door, sink down, shadows all around, blend with the night, make sure I’m not found
Heart hammering, my body soaked with sweat, enjoy the freedom ‘cos I haven’t been captured yet
Hear a sound, hard boots scrape the curb, that sound shatters the silence of the suburbs
“He’s in here” a crash the door swings wide, light fills in and a trooper steps inside
An imposing silhouette fills my vision, the chambers full and the move’s my decision
“Stand up, easy, keep the movement slow”, “Nothing sudden or the morgue is where you’ll go”
Followed the order, exactly as I was told, the chill in his voice made my blood run cold
Face to the wall frisked roughly with a gun barrel, checked for weapons through my torn apparel
What have I done, I haven’t done anything – “b#llsh#t, we saw you and your friends loitering”
“Obviously with criminal intent”, “You’re guilty until proven innocent”
This is a visionary glimpse of a once great nation, now filled with fear and frustration
Rationing returns and the only law is martial, the courts are biased but the bullets impartial
In this day and age treble nine might as well be treble six
Law enforcement hooked on violence like an addict to a fix
Crack down riots sticks smack down, breakdown, roughneck take down
Change democracy for dictatorship, the PM’s death an example of police marksmanship
A new form of a political target, a high price in the electoral market
A new wave of restrictions hit the street. Already people struggle to make ends meet
Although you’re free there’s no way you can retaliate, there’s no way to escape the state
Official head of state, a puppet Prime Minister, true power emanates from somewhere more sinister
One policy is high in favour with their minions, shotgun diplomacy, backing up opinions
Uncharged but punished, innocent but caged, anti-state feelings inside my heart raged
The van door shut with a ring of hard steel, cold metal, cold faces only back the way I feel
For my country it leaves a sour taste, when lives are erased and the truth won’t be faced
Solitary, alone in the crowd, sitting in silence but the tension seems loud
Black glove fingers, clench around a riot stick, counting the minutes, slowly by they tick
The waiting is over its time to come down, this trip is finished, my feet touch the ground
Dragged from the van and embraced by the cuff, no words are needed, the club is enough
“I’d read you your rights but you haven’t got any”, “I’ll tell you your options, you haven’t got many”
The words got unheeded, all I sense is pain, knocked to the ground as the blows start again
Picked up, roughed up, scraped up from the floor, made no trouble as I was pushed towards the door
Searched again, now a weapon is revealed, a pistol in my jacket, it was supposedly concealed
The evidence is taken but the statement made in silence, a signed confession, other acts of violence
Thrown into a cell, within these walls confined, the torture of the body gives an insight to the mind
Criminally speaking ‘cos I fall into this set, the law believes its true, now I must pay my debt
The costs will be high on my friends, it took its toll, battered is my body but they cannot touch my soul
Many others felt my shock as they have shared my fate, every sentence is eternal in the justice of a police state
