Hey State did you disseminate,
dId you get a chance to use,
you're 'teachers' to 'educate',
the 'disillusioned' youth?
Did you train the monkeys well enough?
Did they stand for your abuse?
Hey Landon won't you sing,
sing us the blues

Well they take us down, to the wire
and they burn us out, in the fire
you don't trade your sports car
for a wagon
your just a lamb acting like
a dragon

Hey State did you decimate
those who might refuse
to stand inside your iron gate
and propagate your ruse
did you waterboard the magistrate
until he slipped into your shoes
interchange recalibrate
the meaning of the news
if you train the monkeys well enough
they'll beg for your abuse
so hey son while your standing there
with everything to lose
why don't you pick up your guitar
and sing us the blues

Well they take us down, to the wire
and they burn us out, in the fire
you don't trade your sports car
for a wagon
why this lamb speaking like
a dragon?
you're not dragging
us down

so hey son while you're standing there
with nothing to lose
why don't you pick up your guitar,
and sing us the blues
