Servitude, bow to the crest, The enforcers hold their knives, Standing in line above the rest, An unmoiving line of death's scythes We are the order, bow low, Hands on head, legs apart, Resist, and be smote by a hard blow Of the knife within your heart We are the law, do as we say, Terrorist scumbags and thieves We'll hunt you down by night and day, And no tricks you possess, up your sleeves Will stop us from our duty to serve The masters in the high-rise tower, To stand against and live, requires nerve, But even so, you will not best our power Privacy denied, your lives are a book For us to scribe, your deviance, At your disgraced heads, people will look, Forever you shall bear, society's grievance So betray the people if you dare, But there is no hope in a prison cell, Serve us, and enjoy a gift so rare Peace and wealth, use it well...

I'm tired of getting smote(d). Aren't you? Time to free ourselves of those who blow. |

Yes one could claim that, however, this piece is slightly more subtle and tries to convey the side in favour of this state as well... It is in there sublminally... |
