State Of Emergency

It's a state of emergency
Fightin' with an enemy that we can't see
It's a state of emergency
At this rate we'll never be free

I went down to the Millers' store
Listened to the old folks talkin' bout the war
They don't remember what we're doin' it for
Sayin' when are we gonna be free

'Cause it's a state of emergency
Fightin' with an enemy that we can't see
It's a state of emergency
At this rate we'll never be free

The ol' boys down in Washington
Settin' up a war that can never be won
The fight against terror never gonna be done
So how can we ever be free

In a state of emergency
Fightin' with an enemy we can't see
It's a state of emergency
At this rate we'll never be free

It isn't difficult to understand
The motivations of an elected man
He got to stay in office as long as he can
We ain't never gonna be free

In a state of emergency
Fightin' with an enemy we can't see
It's a state of emergency
At this rate we'll never be free

And if you don't vote in the comin' race
Another war president'll take his place
There's only one way we're gonna change this place
You got to tell 'em you wanna be free

From this state of emergency
Fightin' with an enemy we can't see
It's a state of emergency
But someday we're gonna be free

Very nice, and all you need: easy to grasp melodies, well written lyrics, toe-tapping rhythm all with no tricks up your sleeve. Some acoustic noodling or whatever could let it take a little breath somewhere, but this is complete as is. It may lack the punch to take immunity, but say hello to the next round at worst! Break this one out at an appropriate rally in the coming months. Just maybe not bike week!
