Failed State

歌曲 Failed State
歌手 David Rovics
专辑 Ballad of a Wobbly

歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:16.836] When you're working two jobs and living in a tent
[00:20.520] When a house costs a million bucks and you can't pay the rent
[00:24.751] When politicians say they'll help but it keeps getting worse
[00:28.931] Each time the landlord lobby pulls the strings of the purse
[00:33.163] When the human right to housing isn't even part of the debate
[00:36.977] You know you're living in a failed state
[00:40.164]
[00:47.922] When millions of citizens are spending half their lives
[00:52.337] Locked up in a prison for trying to survive
[00:56.490] When laws must be broken just to have a place to stay
[01:00.435] When the prisons pay the senators to look the other way
[01:04.562] If you have to be a criminal to put food upon your plate
[01:08.585] You know you're living in a failed state
[01:11.798]
[01:19.556] When you're facing climate breakdown
[01:21.307] When the trees are all on fire
[01:23.736] When half the country's underwater
[01:25.956] When a climate change denier
[01:29.065] Runs the nation
[01:30.084] And the opposition party votes for oil rigs and pipelines
[01:34.446] This is not so much a country as it is a corporation
[01:39.096] Buckling under its weight
[01:40.245] You know you're living in a failed state
[01:43.537]
[01:51.321] When your nation is an empire facing daily blowback
[01:55.396] And the only thing your leaders can think to do is attack
[01:59.602] Bipartisan consensus that we need to spend
[02:04.304] Seven-hundred billion before the year's end
[02:08.275] On a military budget to 'make America great'
[02:12.010] You know you're living in a failed state
[02:15.145]
[02:23.295] When almost every day some psycho with a gun
[02:27.579] Has to open fire on a crowd before it's done
[02:31.837] When a music festival becomes a free-fire zone
[02:35.808] And all they can say is 'it's okay, he was acting alone'
[02:40.040] Buy some armor, pray to God, and hide behind a gate
[02:43.801] You know you're living in a failed state
[02:50.410] You know you're living in a failed state
[02:56.732] You know you're living in a failed state
