Paranoid Police State Blues
by J.E.Fowler
 

Cameras on every corner; Cops on every street;

They want to keep me safe; Doesn’t that sound "sweet"?

I don’t want to be too quiet, I don’t want to be too loud

Don’t want to attract attraction, or stand out in a crowd

They say Freedom’s just another word, for nothing left to lose

I've got those watch what you say, watch what you do, paranoid Police State blues

The bible says a man sows exactly what he reaps

I got nothing against Jesus, it’s just the company he keeps

All these Christo-Facists are just a bunch of nuts

If Jesus knew what they were doing, He’d be puking up his guts

So Lord please tell me, the path that I should choose.

I've got those watch what you say, watch what you do, paranoid Police State blues
 

They said after 9-11, Our system would not fail

But now they don’t need a judge, to throw your ass in jail

You might never get a hearing, just so many sleepless nights

To save our precious country, why did we have to lose our rights.

It’s all a mystery, and they’ve hidden all the clues.
 

I've got those watch what you say, watch what you do, paranoid Police State blues

The thought of Judge Alito takes away my breath

There’ll be so much law and order, it’s scaring me to death

If I’m not a patriot, Am I a criminal instead

Why do I have the feeling, Dick Cheney’s neath my bed

I'm just trying---to play by the new rules.

I've got those watch what you say, watch what you do, paranoid Police State blues

I've got those watch what you say , watch what you do, watch what you think, watch what you want, watch what you eat, watch what you feel, watch who you love......
