The Shamen - Negation State [LP Version] Lyrics




Get real
Open your eyes up
You better turn on
Tune in and wise up
This is not a figment or a fantasy
As a matter of fact it's reality
Feel the poison floating in the air
Take a look now
Do you despair?
How could it happen?
How could it be true?
They steal from the many
And give it to the few
They feed you crap and smack
It all gets passed around
Screw you up
And that's how they keep you down
Then they have you
In the palm of their hand
Then they have you
And you'll never understand

Altered State, Altered State, Altered State
Altered State, Altered State, Altered State

Dead dreams
Rotting in the streets
While the country's raped
By the robbers and the cheats
They'll lead you by the hand
Into the promised-land
Into the next world
That's the third world
Shutting down the hospitals
Then the factories
Fill the dole queues
Then the cemeteries
You better get down
Grovel in the dirt
On your face now
They'll make you hurt
What will it take for you
To see the fact
That they're always happy
To attack
They'll choose a time
Select a place
Do we have to wave it in your face

Altered State, Altered State, Altered State
Altered State, Altered State, Altered State

Bad scene
The situation's critical
Unclean
They're gonna make it criminal
Liberties
They're gonna take them all
Down on hands and knees
They want to see you crawl
But like a child
They took your toys
You were silent
Didn't make a noise
You were good
And you hoped you would receive
Reward as they said
And you believed
Rough Justice?
Tough luck
But it seems that no one gives a f*ck
Sign up now 'cause the hour is late
And it seems you're living
In an Altered Sate

Altered State, Altered State, Altered State
Altered State, Altered State, Altered State
Get real
Open your eyes up
You better turn on
Tune in and wise up
This is not a figment or a fantasy
As a matter of fact it's reality
Feel the poison floating in the air
Take a look now
Do you despair?
How could it happen?
How could it be true?
They steal from the many
And give it to the few
They feed you crap and smack
It all gets passed around
Screw you up
And that's how they keep you down
Then they have you
In the palm of their hand
Then they have you
And you'll never understand

Altered State, Altered State, Altered State
Altered State, Altered State, Altered State

Dead dreams
Rotting in the streets
While the country's raped
By the robbers and the cheats
They'll lead you by the hand
Into the promised-land
Into the next world
That's the third world
Shutting down the hospitals
Then the factories
Fill the dole queues
Then the cemeteries
You better get down
Grovel in the dirt
On your face now
They'll make you hurt
What will it take for you
To see the fact
That they're always happy
To attack
They'll choose a time
Select a place
Do we have to wave it in your face

Altered State, Altered State, Altered State

And it seems you're living
