To be GOVERNED is to be watched, spied upon, controlled and commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so.
To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, every transaction noted, registered, taxed, stamped, punished. It is under the pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place under contribution, exploited, monopolised, robbed.
Then, at the slightest resistance - the first word of complaint, to be vilified, harassed, disarmed, imprisoned, and to crown all, mocked and ridiculed. That is government; that is its justice; that is “morality”.
Public serpent in the suit and tie
Dictates how you live your life
Regulating everything
Living isn’t fucking free
Capitalist system takes
Profit margins escalate
Business lobby’s to the state
Class systems that they create
Theres no method to the madness
It’s Robin Hood in reverse
They drop bombs
They build prisons
They detain refugee children
They tell lies to segregate
Division of creed or race
They create the Police state
Black boots stamping on your face
The miscarriage of justice warrants a purge of leadership
Violence; to seed liberation
