PACIFIER OF THE STATE

Lyrics

Verse 1
They hand you a paper the day you are born,
Not a cradle of truth but a title of scorn.
Signed and sealed with a registrar’s hand,
Plug in your mouth, now you’ll understand.

Chorus
It’s the pacifier of the state,
Keeps the suckers quiet while they legislate.
Keeps the crowd a-breast of debtor law,
Feeding one by one on the civil straw.

Verse 2
The monarchs and lawyers, they draft the disguise,
A dummy for speech, a veil for the eyes.
Suck on the seal, drink deep of the fraud,
Forget you were fashioned by the hand of God.

Chorus
It’s the pacifier of the state,
Keeps the suckers quiet while they legislate.
Keeps the crowd a-breast of debtor law,
Feeding one by one on the civil straw.

Bridge
Oh but truth breaks the teat of lies,
Tears the plug from weary cries.
Man and woman free at last,
Forsake the bond, the chain is past.

Verse 3
So toss that dummy, break from the game,
Refuse the brand, the debtor name.
Speak as a child of heaven’s plan,
Not a legal fiction, but a living man.

Final Chorus
It’s the pacifier of the state,
Keeps the suckers quiet while they legislate.
But Christ has cancelled the debtor law,
Feeding all His children on grace, not straw.
