MARTIAL LAW

Lyrics by Anthony Castillo, Castle Noir Music BMI ©

Verse One:

That night I was laying in bed, the day's demonstrations runnin though my head,

People marchin up and down the streets, demands for justice turnin up the heat,

Common folk taken up the fight, talk was heard about a general strike,

The next day it really hit the fan, screams were heard from all across the land,

Chorus:

Look out, stay clear, won't be a revolution here,

Look out, back down, this time they called for martial law,

Verse Two:

Friends called before the phones went down, sayin it's time we went under ground,

Military marchin up and down the streets, mass arrests clamp down free speech,

Pentagon saying the're in charge, not to panic, just stay calm,

Propaganda always made it clear, they always said it can't happen here,

Chorus:

Look out, stay clear, won't be a revolution here,

Look out, back down, fascist shootin up the towns,

Look out, keep clear, they plan to rule by fear,

No rights, beware, this time they called for martial law,

Bridge:

It's called a military cue, unlike an old solder,

The national security state and prison industrial complex refuses to fade away,

Like a power junkie, in need of a fix of blood and money,

But who's blood and who's money, WHO'S MONEY!

Chorus:

Wake up, it's clear, gotta be a revolution here,

Rise up, it's clear, gotta be a revolution here,

Wake up, it's clear, gotta be a revolution here,

Rise up, it's clear, gotta be a revolution here,
