A state bank is generally a financial institution that is chartered by a state. It differs from a reserve bank in that it does not necessarily control monetary policy (indeed, the state in question may have no legal capacity to create monetary policy), but instead usually offers only retail and commercial services.
A state bank that has been in operation for five years or less is called a de novo bank.
In the United States the term "state bank" is used in contradistinction to "national bank." All national banks are chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. State banks are chartered and regulated by a state agency (often called the Department of Financial Institutions) in the state in which its headquarters are located. In addition, state banks that are members of the Federal Reserve are regulated by the Federal Reserve; state banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Therefore, almost every state bank has both a state and federal regulator. There are a handful of state banks which do not have FDIC insurance.

The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Simps
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll knows how to sing
What if this song's on the radio?
Somebody's gonna die

My ex will start a fight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
He's gonna start a fight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
You weren't there, you never were
You want it all but that's not fair
I gave you life, I gave my all
You we're there, you let me fall
So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
Manchmal lief die Zeit mir durch die Haende,
Manchmal wollt' sie einfach nicht vergeh'n.Doch die Zeit heilt viele Wunden.
Und in manchen schweren Stunden
Traeumte ich, die Zeit zurueck zu dreh'n, denn...
Zeit, Zeit, wo bleibt nur die Zeit?
Zeit, Zeit, wann ist es so weit?
Wer weiss, was noch passiert,
Wer weiss, wohin der Wind mich fuehrt.
Sag', wo bist Du?
Zeit, Zeit, was kommt in dieser Zeit
Noch auf mich zu?
Ich hab' um ein bisschen Glueck gebetet
Und um die verlor'ne Zeit geweint.
Doch es konnt' auf eine Frage
Mir keiner hier die Antwort sagen:
Koennen wir in Frieden gluecklich sein? Nein!
Zeit, Zeit, wo bleibt nur die Zeit?
Zeit, Zeit, wann ist es so weit?
Wo werd' ich morgen sein?
Bin ich am Ende doch allein
Und wo bist Du?
Wie schnell die Zeit vergeht.
Wie schnell der Wind sich dreht.
Wer weiss, was noch passiert,
Wer weiss, wohin der Wind mich fuehrt.
Sag' wo bist Du.
Zeit, Zeit, ist der Weg auch weit
