State of the Nation |
You can walk, or you can run |
You don’t have to be someone |
I went on a summer cruise |
Upon an ocean born to lose |
My brother said that he was dead |
I saw his face and shook my head |
Can you see where we can’t be |
We’re losing our blood in the sea |
'Cause it’s the state of the nation |
That’s holding our salvation |
Yes, it’s the state of the nation |
That’s holding our salvation |
Oh, the state of the nation |
Is causing deprivation |
Oh, the state of the nation |
Is causing deprivation |
From my home I traveled far |
I drove in my stolen car |
When it broke down, I kissed the ground |
'Cause I don’t kiss when you’re around |
I don’t find that I have been |
The portrait of an only son |
If that’s the case, then who could tell |
Where my story had begun? |
Cause it’s the state of the nation |
That’s holding our salvation |
Yes, it’s the state of the nation |
That’s holding our salvation |
Yes, the state of the nation |
That’s causing deprivation |
Oh, the state of the nation |
That’s causing deprivation |
Even now, I’m all alone |
Behind a wall that’s made of stone |
I think about where we have been |
And all the sights that could be seen |
I know it all could be worthwhile |
If only I could force a smile |
Now we turn our backs to the sea |
The shame of a nation we’ll never be |
Cause it’s the state of the nation |
That’s holding our salvation |
Yes, it’s the state of the nation |
That’s holding our salvation |
Oh, the state of the nation |
Is causing deprivation |
Yes, the state of the nation |
Is causing deprivation |
