[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
