Lyrics

If you want to know about the state I’m in
If you want to know about the state I’m in
I’ve been laying low looking within.
For a way to grow in the state I'm in


We used to help the poor in the state I’m in
We gave shelter from the storm in the state I’m in
Now we’re locking all the doors and to my chagrin
I think we’re making even more poor in the state I'm in

In the state I’m in
What was unbelievable
Yesterday an evil
At best an inconceivable mess
Is red white and blue
And when they’re pointing at you
Wearing badges and boots
Are you gonna salute?


We used to welcome the oppressed
in the state I’m in
With a job or an address
in the state I’m in
Now a welcoming arrest
and an ICE cold grin
Ain’t leaving anybody less
oppressed in the state i’m in

In the state I’m in
What was unbelievable
Yesterday an evil
At best an inconceivable mess
Is red white and blue
When they’re pointing at you
Wearing badges and boots
Are you gonna salute?

If you wanna know
about the state I’m in
If you wanna know
about the state I’m in
I keep laying low
while an idiot wind
continues to blow
Through the state I'm in.
The state I'm in
Continues to blow
through the state I'm in.
The state I'm in
The state i’m in
