You can walk or you can run |
| [00:46.02] |
You dont have to be someone |
| [00:50.01] |
I went on a summer cruise |
| [00:54.31] |
Upon an ocean born to lose |
| [00:58.12] |
My brother said that he was dead |
| [01:02.24] |
I saw his face and shook my head |
| [01:06.55] |
Can you see where we cant be |
| [01:10.48] |
Were losing our blood in the sea |
| [01:14.28] |
Cause its the state of the nation |
| [01:18.26] |
Thats holding our salvation |
| [01:22.32] |
Yes its the state of the nation |
| [01:26.44] |
Thats holding our salvation |
| [01:30.87] |
Oh the state of the nation |
| [01:34.80] |
Is causing deprivation |
| [01:39.06] |
Oh the state of the nation |
| [01:43.11] |
Is causing deprivation |
| [02:04.47] |
From my home I traveled far |
| [02:08.72] |
I drove in my stolen car |
| [02:12.58] |
When it broke down I kissed the ground |
| [02:16.71] |
Cause I dont kiss when youre around |
| [02:21.01] |
I dont find that I have been |
| [02:25.00] |
The portrait of an only son |
| [02:29.12] |
If thats the case then who could tell |
| [02:33.36] |
Where my story had begun |
| [02:36.92] |
Cause its the state of the nation |
| [02:40.85] |
Thats holding our salvation |
| [02:44.97] |
Yes its the state of the nation |
| [02:49.15] |
Thats holding our salvation |
| [02:53.33] |
Yes the state of the nation |
| [02:57.51] |
Thats causing deprivation |
| [03:01.57] |
Oh the state of the nation |
| [03:05.75] |
Thats causing deprivation |
| [03:44.00] |
Even now Im all alone |
| [03:47.68] |
Behind a wall thats made of stone |
| [03:51.86] |
I think about where we have been |
| [03:55.98] |
And all the sights that could be seen |
| [04:00.10] |
I know it all could be worthwhile |
| [04:04.34] |
If only I could force a smile |
| [04:08.59] |
Now we turn our backs to the sea |
| [04:12.52] |
The shame of a nation well never be |
| [04:16.39] |
Cause its the state of the nation |
| [04:20.26] |
Thats holding our salvation |
| [04:24.25] |
Yes its the state of the nation |
| [04:28.43] |
Thats holding our salvation |
| [04:32.61] |
Oh the state of the nation |
| [04:36.79] |
Is causing deprivation |
| [04:41.16] |
Yes the state of the nation |
| [04:45.03] |
Is causing deprivation |
