Lyrics God and Country - The Thermals

God and Country

pray for a new age
pray for information
i can hope, see
even if i don’t believe
pray for a new state
pray for communication
i can hope, see
even if i don’t believe
and
i believe
i think
i don’t know
history will show
our progress is slow
when we win
we win in inches
the future deaf
so the few left
will need a fist
when no one will listen
know where we stand
know we pay the man
it’s my flag
it’s my flag
know i’m not kneeling
know what i’m feeling
my god above
or total lack of
but
i lack…
i think…
i don’t know
my faith is barren
i don’t believe the prayer
and it’s not a sin
and it’s not opinion
know i’m a man
know where i stand
in an affront
to god and country
pray for a new state
pray for assassination
i can hope, see?
even if i don’t believe
and
i believe
i think
