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 death inflation
|
Oh, the state of the nation
|
Is causing death inflation
|
|
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 death inflation
|
Oh, the state of the nation
|
That's causing death inflation
|
|
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 death inflation
|
Yes, the state of the nation
|
Is causing death inflation
|
