Declaration Songtext
[Refrain:]
I don′t want to share my freedom with your laws,
They were made to rule us and to buy them like old whores
To keep us quiet, to keep us upright in a controlled line,
But life is boring, Sir, without committing a crime.
I don't want to share my rights, my culture and freedom with your laws.
They were made to rule and command and to fight your internal wars.
To keep us upright and quite, to keep us in a controlled line.
But life is too boring for me without committing a so called crime.
Jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah
Silence in court!
[Refrain]
Jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah
What you call committing a crime is for some a fight to survive.
Did you ever really feel cold, have you been hungry once in your life?
I′m sick of your justice and courts and the way you spell DEMOCRACY.
Here and now I declare myself to be stateless, outlawed and free.
Jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah
Silence in court!
[Refrain]
I don′t want to share my freedom with your laws,
They were made to rule us and to buy them like old whores
To keep us quiet, to keep us upright in a controlled line,
But life is boring, Sir, without committing a crime.
I don't want to share my rights, my culture and freedom with your laws.
They were made to rule and command and to fight your internal wars.
To keep us upright and quite, to keep us in a controlled line.
But life is too boring for me without committing a so called crime.
Jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah
Silence in court!
[Refrain]
Jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah
What you call committing a crime is for some a fight to survive.
Did you ever really feel cold, have you been hungry once in your life?
I′m sick of your justice and courts and the way you spell DEMOCRACY.
Here and now I declare myself to be stateless, outlawed and free.
Jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah, jayah
Silence in court!
[Refrain]
