lyrics
Secret State Rock copyright Kent Scheffler 2013
I can feel something happenin’ … behind my back! What is it? Something’s goin’ on!
One, two, three… can you be free? Four, five, six… if you’re on the list?
Seven, eight, nine… it was a secret crime. Ten, eleven, twelve… so the secret court held.
Whoa, thirteen, hey, just your luck! Bend over citizen, Secret State Rock!
Spill your guts, man, give us a reason… we just wanna execute you for high treason.
Hit a hospital with a Tomahawk missile?
Now you’ll think twice ‘fore you blow that whistle!
Nothing to fear if you’ve nothing to hide! Bend over citizen, enjoy the ride!
So you sold your soul… but how were you to know? Now you’re fallin’ down a hole!
Covert operation, green light GO!
A “Need to Know” basis, and you don’t need to know!
Gotta protect… agents in the field – heavily redacted, wonder who they killed?
Highly confidential, not for your eyes, bend over citizen, I’ll tell ‘ya more lies!
Everything can be… plausibly denied, JFK, MLK… it was easy to hide!
A shadow coup, a secret revolution, national security trumps the Constitution!
Just keepin’ you safe, where the sun don’t shine, bend over citizen, one more time!
Nothing to fear if you’ve nothing to hide – bend over citizens, enjoy the ride!
Now you know it’s true…but there’s nothin’ you can do.
Just pray… the next “traitor”…isn’t you!
Under duress, …you’ll lose access, under our thumb, mainstream press.
Whores in the Congress, whores in the brass, toe the line, chumps, we’ll expose your ass!
Nothing to fear if you’ve nothing to hide! Bend over citizens, enjoy the ride!
One, two, three… It’s an EMERGENCY! Four, five, six… Do something QUICK!
Seven, eight, nine… Let’s make EVERYTHING a crime!
Ten, eleven, twelve, Welcome to Hell!
Hey, thirteen, man, just your luck! Bend over citizen, Secret State Rock!
Bend over, citizen! Secret State Rock…
Bend over, citizen! Secret State Rock…
Secret State Rock… Secret State Rock…
