SKINDRED LYRICS - State Of Emergency

"State Of Emergency"



What's going on all over this whole wide world?

What's going on all over this whole wide world?



Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary

Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary



What is going on in addy planet Earth? Dat ah where we live it addy place of our birth

Madness and mayhem man the world is corrupt, like a volcano it soon will erupt



Look at the people in the streets, everywhere they don't seem like they care

And everyone is getting mad, it just seems like we've all lost the plot



Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary

999 there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessary



These cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher

All these cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher

State of emergency, I'm gunner tell everyone



Check it out blood it ain't meant to be

The way they carry on man it's so crazy

When I think trouble is coming for me

I lay down in my bed and call the almighty

Now everybody can see hate is ugly and it's everywhere

You say you wanner be free

Yet everyday for the war you prepare

Calling there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessary

911 there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessary



These cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher

All these cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher

State of emergency, I'm gunner tell everyone

There's a state of emergency I'm gunner tell everyone

These cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher

All these places are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
