State Of The Union
Rise Against · Siren Song Of The Counter Culture [2004]
If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity
we're taking on water and about to fucking sink
no one seems to notice, no one even blinks
the crew all left the passengers to die under the sea
countdown
to the very end
equality
an invitation that we won't extend
ready, aim
pull the trigger now
in time you
firmly secure your place in hell
state of the union address
reads war torn country still a mess
the words: power, death and distorted truth
are read between the lines of the red, white and blue
countdown
to the very end
equality
an invitation that we won't extend
ready, aim
pull the trigger now
in time you
firmly secure your place in hell
guilty is what our graves will read
no years, no family
we did nothing to stop the murder of
a people just like us
we're taking on water and about to fucking sink
no one seems to notice, no one even blinks
the crew all left the passengers to die under the sea
countdown
to the very end
equality
an invitation that we won't extend
ready, aim
pull the trigger now
in time you

state of the union address
