There is a riot on the streets and all I can see is disaster,
So run faster
They got heavies in a jeep
With their targets on the weak
They're gunning for you and me
They breed like rats as the system fails
To eat your rights away
Our police state now, it's a living hell
There's no place for you and me
In this a state of emergency
It's a state of emergency
It's a state of emergency
For you, and me
When bullshit rules
You can't fight it with truth
Have they distracted us to forgetting
What about Grenfell?
The Panama Papers?
Why are British bombs destroying Yemen?
The high streets dead,
Yet no one speaks.
You're all glued from screen to screen
When it's your front door
They're kicking for
Where's your sense of community?
In this state of emergency
It's a state of emergency
Let's make them rue the day they thought they could finally come for you and me
In this state of emergency
There's a virus on the streets.
But on T.V. there's no answer
So run faster
The one percent got their tests
Fear's left the rest a mess
The rich own your right to breathe
When they feast like pigs
Our democracy fails
They vote your rights away
So stand your ground
This time we won't back down
In this state of emergency
It's a state of emergency
It's a state of emergency
Protect your fellow man
Find the strength to stand
This time, for you and me
In this state of emergency
