Parov Stelar - State of the Union

Текст песни

Wanna listen to the radio, can't listen to the radio
'Cause radio don't play music anymore
Wanna turn on the evening news,
Can't turn on the evening news, no
'Cause life ain't all about sex scandals and celebrity blues
Wanna take a joyride
Drive down to the countryside
CEOs are getting richer at the gas pump on my dime
Look out my window, backstreets and alleyways
The men in blue, they arrest the youth when they got nothing to do

This is the stade of the union
This is the stade of (hey, I was born and rise up) the union
Gonna rise up, rise up
This is the stade of (hey, I was born and rise up) the union
Gonna rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
This is the state of the union

Heard they burned a boy in southern florida
Over a civil game, will it ever be the same
And on the south side, up in chicago
I heard they beat a boy to death who meant no trouble
Assassination, I just don't understand
'Cause when you fight for peace
That's when they gun you down
All rise for Lincon
All rise for MLK
All rise for Lennon
All rise for the Kennedys
Stand up for unity, equality, stand up to be free
This is the state of

This is the stade of the union
This is the stade of (hey, I was born and rise up) the union
Gonna rise up, rise up
This is the stade of (hey, I was born and rise up) the union
Gonna rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up

And on the south side, up in chicago
I heard they beat a boy to death who meant no trouble
Assassination, I just don't understand
'Cause when you fight for peace
That's when they gun you down

This is the stade of (hey, I was born and rise up) the union
Gonna rise up, rise up
This is the stade of (hey, I was born and rise up) the union
Gonna rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up
