The Guise and Traits of a Regressive State Lyrics

Democracy is flawed
Decrepit creatures
Walking parliament halls


Select and elect, repeat
The voters buy every line they speak
Cretinous upper classes
Produce laws that control the masses

They'll sell you down the river
Without a paddle

They're untouchable
Kings of the realms, whores of the law

Do as they say
Not as they do
A false dichotomy ensues

Slap on the wrist
Pat on the back
Punishment is a concept they lack

They've sold you down the river
No moral compass

They've sold us down the river

Their guise
And traits
Regress this state


I will never conform
I won't be part of this masquerade
I will repeal my vote
And watch this state consume itself


They exist in their suits sewn with lies
Bought with ill acquired wealth used to disguise

Redfaced and obsucre
Absent until it suits them
Death can't be justified
Theres no respect in war

No moral compass
They've sold us down the river
Their guise and traits
Regress this state
