Versuri State Of The Nation

  
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 deprivation 
Oh, the state of the nation 
Is causing deprivation 
  
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 deprivation 
Oh, the state of the nation 
That's causing deprivation 
  
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 deprivation 
Yes, the state of the nation 
Is causing deprivation
