Lyrics A Nation on Fire - Machine Head

A Nation on Fire

Well I see, I feel
On my way
You close your eyes, scared to think what
You might see
A world that spends more to kill than to cure
Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure
It hardens me, the things I see
But I won’t break.
it gives me strength
Our suffering.
won’t always be
We’ll dominate.
this nation on fire
The media it
Blinds our eyes
A people divided
And force fed lies
The black and white societies corrode
Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes
So take my hand, across this land
I won’t go down, stand my ground
Our suffering.
won’t always be
We’ll dominate.
this nation on fire
This nation’s built on fighting war after war
And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for
'Cause I won’t break.
Your truth is fake
If blood ran red, you’d leave me for dead
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
You tell me peace, well I hear gunshots all night
The scars I have, I’ve earned 'cause I’ve had to fight
An endless pain, and it won’t change
We just sat by, and watched this world die
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
