RISE AGAINST LYRICS - State Of The Union

"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 all left the passengers to die under the sea



[Chorus]

Countdown, to the very end,

Equality, an invitation that we wont 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



[Chorus]



Your place in hell [x2]



'Guilty' is what our graves will read,

No years, no family, we did

Nothing (nothing) to stop the murder of

A people just like us
