Death of a Country


 

Living isn't as good as it seems
Our country's dying before our eyes
What has happened to cause this scene
They say we're trying but it's only lies

The man put us here to do good things
Things to make him proud
To keep us down he gave no wings
To tell our fears we must be loud

Our countries dying our breathing choked
It's blood is filled with sin
And of its skin it's pocked with sores
Where cold clean flesh had been

Can you hear the sounds of progress
Llanding on the moon
Can you hear the sounds of violence
Banging at your door
Can you hear the sounds of laughter
Coming from the streets.

 

Looks like nothing is the same
People turning me around
I don't even know my name
Getting' tired of this cold world
It's enough to bring you down
Lies ... getting' tired of the same same lies
Lies ... all those lies
Can't take my eyes from all those lies

Can you hear the sounds of progress
Llanding on the moon
Can you hear the sounds of violence
Banging at your door
Can you hear the sounds of laughter
Coming from the streets.

Understand what this songs about
it's a warning for you and me
Look around when you go outside.
You'll feel...you'll smell...you'll see
We gotta do something it won't be long
Come on and lend a hand
Give back what what given to us
.Natures legacy a healthy man
