Lyrics

[00:41.83] 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
