Testo State of Emergency - Jaya the Cat
Testo della canzone State of Emergency (Jaya the Cat), tratta dall'album Basement Style
Like a shadow in the night
Swallows up that city light
Like fire in the rain
Gets put out again
Like a weapon kept concealed
Explosive elements revealed
A criminal inside of you
No ground to stand, nothing to lose
The distribution of wealth
What a fucking scandal
That's why it's hard to survive
In this so-called promised land
You gotta do what you gotta do to get by
Facilitate that permanent high
Smoke filled lung inside of you
It's hard to dream of glory
When you got something to prove
Sometimes we're all victims
Of depression and unrest
Some people got no heart
That's just the way it's always been
Some never find what they're looking for
Few get what they want, few will get more
Sometimes you gotta cross that line
When you ain't got enough to get by
Like an angel lost in hell
I walk a path I know so well
I feel lost in a familiar way
Another memory I can't explain
Cause it's a bottle that seems to flow
Through another day of the drunk unknown
I'm looking to fight
At eleven fifteen on a Saturday night
Wake up on Sunday morning
To the sound of broken glass and sirens callin'
Bricks and bottles in the street
Alert the police
Cause it's a state of emergency
And the traffic lights are all blinking red
And a voice on the radio says
"Get out while you can"
And in the gridlock, panic sets in
Cause there ain't no engine built fast enough
To outrun the Armageddon
And if you don't give it up
I'm gonna take it
And if you don't give it up
I'm gonna take it
And if you don't give it up
I'm gonna take it
And how long did you think you could keep me tricked?
I'll be gone walkin' through the back gate
Flinging bricks
Like a shadow in the night
Swallows up that city light
Like fire in the rain
Gets put out again
Like a weapon kept concealed
Explosive elements revealed
A criminal inside of you
No ground to stand, nothing to lose
