| 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 |
