How did we get into this mess?
The question is hypothetical
The answers are written on the face of the oppressed
Sent to death at just 19
Forever more to be unseen
His mother with tears in her eyes
Crying to God, she calls out "Why?"
She'll find her answers on the face of the oppressed
I bow my head in respect of the dead
Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S
That's gonna save our sinking ship, our ship
How did we get into this mess?
The question is a bona fide literal
The answers are written on the face of the oppressed
We all know the answers why
They sold a lie to build Versailles
You can roll over and die
Or you can reign down hell tonight
You'll find your answer on the face of the oppressed
I bow my head in respect of the dead
Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S
That's gonna save our sinking ship, our ship
In the ash of your city lies fertile ground
(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)
In the ash of your city lies fertile ground
(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)
This nation's burning, burning down
(This nation's burning, burning down)
This nation's burning to the ground
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn, let it burn
This is New York burning
This is Boston burning
This is Omaha burning
This is Washington burning
This is Pittsburgh burning
This is Birmingham burning
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn, let it burn
Burn, burn
