The State Of The Union Lyrics - Richest Man In Babylon - Thievery Corporation

Sleepywonder and shinehead: 

The people live in misery 

Govemment a work 

But govemment them is a monckery 

Respect to the youths 

Whether in front and all dem a back a me 

Why don't you treat them the way you should 

And I know all the things you hide 

Even though it's a good disguise 

And we see all the things you do 

And what you do will comeback on you 

You think we can't fight what the eyes can't see 

Because we are blinded by poverty

The people live in misery 

Govemment a work 

But govemment them is a monckery 

Respect to the youths 

Whether in front and all dem a back a me 

Why don't you treat them the way you should 

The people live in misery 

Govemment a work 

But govemment them is a monckery 

Respect to the youths 

Whether in front and all dem a back a me 

Why don't you treat them the way you should 

Photos 

It's like the people you want them to rebel 

And fire gunshots and burn buildings to hell 

And after that you a go want treat me well 

It's like you have the people under a spell 

Talking to the people in a congress 

A we vote you in, so you must put out your best 

After all we no in a contest 

It's the state of the union address 

The people live in misery 

Govemment a work 

But govemment them is a monckery 

Respect to the youths 

Whether in front and all dem a back a me 

Why don't you treat them the way you should 

The people live in misery 

Govemment a work 

But govemment them is a monckery 

Respect to the youths 

Whether in front and all dem a back a me 

Why don't you treat them the way you should 

Broadcasting lies on the television sreen 

Trying to get us hooked on your american dream 

We up on your games if you know wha me mean 

When you cheated on your wife with your money and your schemes 

People rule and a that you fi follow 

We and nuh no call me no nigga 

Do a good term and you deserve another 

Signed musically yours, the general sleepywonder 

The people live in misery 

Govemment a work 

But govemment them is a monckery 

Respect to the youths 

Whether in front and all dem a back a me 

Why don't you treat them the way you should 

The people live in misery 

Govemment a work 

But govemment them is a monckery 

Respect to the youths 

Whether in front and all dem a back a me 

Why don't you treat them the way you should
