Monopoly on Violence Lyrics

"To destroy governmental violence, only one thing is needed: It is that people should understand that the feeling of patriotism, which alone supports that instrument of violence, is a rude, harmful, disgraceful, and bad feeling, and, above all, is immoral."

Lines drawn in the sand
Will soon be blown away
Winds of change are strengthened
Facing perpetual decay
Decay
Grasp for power tightly
And watch it slip away
Power from the barrel of a gun
Inhuman drones unleashed
In power hungry feast
Armored law enforcement
Citizens crawl in torment
Monopoly of violence
Feel the cold hand of the state
Unsympathetic madness
Fueled by its own hate
