Smash The State

Fires are breaking out all over london
For three nights now
Arson and looting have engulfed neighbourhoods
In the British capitol
With hundreds arrested and dozens of police injured
And things only appear to be getting worse
Similar violence has now erupted
In the city of birmingham
About 120 miles from london
British political leaders are cancelling their
Vacations to return home and deal with the riots
What we're seeing is not a battle with police
We're seeing a battle with the neighbourhood
In which you're from
We are seeing the destruction of people's homes
Literally, people running out of their homes
In only the clothes that they are wearing
And watching their homes burn to the ground
We're seeing, not retail chains
But independent shops, hairdressers
Travel agents, post offices, burned to the ground
Burned to the ground
To the ground
To the ground
Smash the state!
Money? You're talking about money?
I'm talking about human life
You want money? Here
Here, everybody, play with the money
Play with the dirty money
Burned to the ground
Strike a match
Electric
There is no justification
For responding to this video
With violence
Violence
Violence
Violence
Smash the state
