| [00:41] |
You can walk, or you can run |
| [00:45] |
You don't have to be someone |
| [00:50] |
I went on a summer cruise |
| [00:54] |
Upon an ocean born to lose |
| [00:58] |
My brother said that he was dead |
| [01:02] |
I saw his face and shook my head |
| [01:06] |
Can you see where we can't be |
| [01:10] |
We're losing our blood in the sea |
| [01:14] |
'cause it's the state of the nation |
| [01:18] |
That's holding our salvation |
| [01:22] |
Yes, it's the state of the nation |
| [01:26] |
That's holding our salvation |
| [01:31] |
Oh, the state of the nation |
| [01:34] |
Is causing deprivation |
| [01:40] |
Oh, the state of the nation |
| [01:43] |
Is causing deprivation |
| [02:04] |
From my home i traveled far |
| [02:08] |
I drove in my stolen car |
| [02:12] |
When it broke down, i kissed the ground |
| [02:16] |
'cause i don't kiss when you're around |
| [02:21] |
I don't find that i have been |
| [02:25] |
The portrait of an only son |
| [02:29] |
If that's the case, then who could tell |
| [02:33] |
Where my story had begun? |
| [02:37] |
Cause it's the state of the nation |
| [02:40] |
That's holding our salvation |
| [02:45] |
Yes, it's the state of the nation |
| [02:48] |
That's holding our salvation |
| [02:53] |
Yes, the state of the nation |
| [02:57] |
That's causing deprivation |
| [03:01] |
Oh, the state of the nation |
| [03:06] |
That's causing deprivation |
| [03:43] |
Even now, i'm all alone |
| [03:47] |
Behind a wall that's made of stone |
| [03:51] |
I think about where we have been |
| [03:56] |
And all the sights that could be seen |
| [04:00] |
I know it all could be worthwhile |
| [04:04] |
If only i could force a smile |
| [04:08] |
Now we turn our backs to the sea |
| [04:12] |
The shame of a nation we'll never be |
| [04:16] |
Cause it's the state of the nation |
| [04:20] |
That's holding our salvation |
| [04:24] |
Yes, it's the state of the nation |
| [04:28] |
That's holding our salvation |
| [04:32] |
Oh, the state of the nation |
| [04:37] |
Is causing deprivation |
| [04:41] |
Yes, the state of the nation |
| [04:45] |
Is causing deprivation |
