[Verse 1]

Kept in line with truncheons

Rifle butts and truncheons

This is state control, this is state control

[Chorus]

State control, state control

This is state control

[Verse 2]

Beaten up behind closed doors

Cracked and bruised ribs, bloody mouth

Cracked and bruised skull, bloody mouth

[Chorus]

State control, state control

This is state control

[Verse 3]

Kept in line with truncheons

Rifle butts and truncheons

This is state control, this is state control

[Chorus]

State control, state control

This is state control

[Verse 4]

Beaten up behind closed doors

Cracked and bruised ribs, bloody mouth

Cracked and bruised skull, bloody mouth

[Chorus]

State control, state control

This is state control
