[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
