[00:00.00] 作曲 : Anti-Flag
[00:01.08] How did we get into this mess?
[00:04.76] The question is a hypothetical...
[00:07.39] The answers are
[00:09.01] Written on the face of the oppressed
[00:11.83] Sent to death at just 19
[00:14.20] Forevermore to be unseen
[00:16.76] His mother with tears in her eyes
[00:18.83] Crying to God
[00:19.70]
[00:20.27] She calls out, "Why!?!?"
[00:22.14] She'll find her answers
[00:22.76]
[00:23.90] On the face of the oppressed
[00:25.46]
[00:26.02] I bow my head in respect
[00:29.56]
[00:31.18] Of the dead
[00:33.17]
[00:36.49] Because they're all bogged down
[00:37.74]
[00:38.93] And there ain't no fucking S.O.S
[00:41.74] That's going to save our sinking ship
[00:44.93]
[00:46.49] Because they're all bogged down
[00:47.87]
[00:49.05] No there ain't no fucking S.O.S
[00:51.99] That's gonna save our sinking ship..
[00:57.43]
[00:58.43]
[00:59.49] How did we get into this mess?
[01:01.43]
[01:02.49] The question is a bonafide literal
[01:05.00]
[01:06.24] The answers are written on the face of the oppressed
[01:10.30]
[01:10.93] We all the know the answers why
[01:12.61]
[01:13.12] They sold a lot of girls aside
[01:14.93]
[01:15.93] You can roll over and die
[01:17.68] Or you can rain down hell tonight!
[01:19.62]
[01:20.87] You'll find your answer
[01:21.87]
[01:22.86] On the face of the oppressed
[01:24.31]
[01:24.87] I bow my head in respect
[01:28.37]
[01:29.94] Of the dead
[01:31.56]
[01:35.19] Because they're all bogged down
[01:36.50]
[01:37.69] And there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
[01:40.19] That's going to save our sinking ship
[01:44.19]
[01:45.37] Because they're all bogged down
[01:46.75]
[01:47.81] And there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
[01:50.37] That's going to save our sinking ship ..
[01:54.62]
[01:55.63]
[01:57.44]
[02:05.74] In the ash of your city lights burning down
[02:12.44] In the ash of your city lights burning to the ground
[02:14.54]
[02:15.60] In the ash of your city lights burning down
