Rise Against - State of the Union [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Tim McIlrath]

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 seems to blink
The crew left the passengers to die

Under the sea

[Bridge: Tim McIlrath]

Countdown, to the very end
Equality, an invitation we won't extend
Ready aim, pull the trigger now
It's time you firmly secure your place in hell

[Hook: Tim McIlrath]

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

[Bridge: Tim McIlrath]

Countdown, to the very end
Equality, an invitation 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

[Verse 2: Tim McIlrath]

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
