Rise Against - State of the Union

Track 1 from Siren Song of the Counter Culture

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
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
To stop the murder of people just like us

this is one of those songs that you need to listen to at maximum volume otherwise..... it's just not the same.

I so loved them when they were hardcore. The gay image just doesnt speak to me... If you got disappointed too, you could check out Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. As Johnny Cash once said:"Just work on harmony and diction and play your banjo well. And if you have political convictions keep 'em to yourself."

this is why i love punk rock music so much. even though this song is more of a harcore rock song

I'm a bit embarrassed to just now be listening to this album.

All the lost years...

March 2011 they played it live, maybe you were just unlucky, or they actually have stopped playing it

This has to be the best Rise Against song.

@subzeroINKED Rock can't be classified as "G".. go back to rap.
