Lyrics for State Of The Union

If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity We're taking on water and about to fuckin' sink No-one seems to notice, no-one even blinks The crew 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 It's 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 It's time you firmly secure your place in hell Your place in hell Your place in hell Guilty is what our graves will read No year, no family We did nothing (Nothing!) To stop the murder of Of people just like us
