"The State" Lyrics [edit]
by Derek Webb | from the album Stockholm Syndrome
 

I was free to live and love and kill as I saw fit

I was at peace, there really was no one I was at war with

The only common good was that we understood

That laws unjust were only good for breaking

The difference legalized instead of (saneness?)

Left nobody free

That was the day before I married my conscience to the state



My taxes paid, these roads were laid to places of my choosing

There were no eyes up in the skies looking down into my bed

There was no government without our consent

And keys were made for anyone who just claimed it

And glass was all of every wall that framed it

From sea to shining sea

But that was the day before I married my conscience to the state



Right and wrong written on my heart, not just in the laws that condemn me

But now with Caesar satisfied, I can even do the things that should offend me
