Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smash the state,
The fascist rape the pigs are waiting you're not on your own,
You're not alone we got the number
But whatcha gonna do with your head in a noose oh shit!

Tanks are coming and you are running troops
In the street maybe not today,
Maybe not tomorrow you can take your chance
But whatcha gonna do with your head in a noose

I don't know smash the state
The fascist rape smash the state
The fascist rape smash the state
The fascist rape smash the state
The fascist rape smash the state
Kill Pierre Trudeau smash the state




Kill Ronnie Reagan smash the state
Margaret thatcher smash the state, kill them all
