Directed towards removal
Public is infuriated
Their rights have now been violated

The lyrics to Righteous Pigs' song Turmoil seem to be describing a situation where there is a crisis among the people, and they are directing their anger towards those in power who they feel are responsible for their current predicament. The public is feeling infuriated because they feel their rights have been violated, and this has led to an uproar, rage, and fury. The situation is described as being so intense that it feels like a violent frenzy, with thousands rioting in turmoil. People are tired of being "fuckin' loyal" to those in power who they feel have let them down.
The second part of the song seems to suggest that the army has been called in to restore order, with bombardments being showered down on the citizens who are protesting. However, it is implied that the people are resilient and are able to triumph over the forces that are trying to keep them in check. The song ends with the statement that the laws are null and void, perhaps suggesting that the people feel that they need to take matters into their own hands in order to effect change.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the power dynamic between those in power and the people they govern. It may also be an expression of frustration with a corrupt government or system that is failing to serve the needs of its citizens.
