Requiem (For a Dying Nation) - tHe ReLiCs (Kick Ass). Live at The Icehouse Tavern in Phoenix. Video by Debi.
Crawling on the edge, bleeding from the side
Gasping for it's last breath
Grasping at what's left of it's broken pride
A once mighty power, brought to it's knees
Not by any terrorist, but by it's own greed
The time has come to reap what we've sown
The seeds of hate
Don't grown on their own
So for this widening alienation
A requiem, for a dying nation
Military fiascoes, the order of the day
Doesn't really mean that much
When you got a mortgage you can't pay
Bailouts to the wealthy, to lend to the poor
Better brace yourself kid
You may just find out what a soup kitchens for
What the hell did you expect
You can't beat em down
Then ask for respect
So for this desperate situation
A requiem for a dying nation
Yeah were teetering on the edge, of World War III
Digging for a foothold
On the collapsing face of a false economy
Your government has forsaken you man, sold out to greed
Meet your new leaders, Exxon/Mobil and A.I.G.
The goal is clear, our path is not
Gonna have to fight, to keep what you've got
So here, at the dawn of a new depression
A requiem, for a dying nation
"Show more" for the lyrics. ViC's finest if you ask me. Just perfect. Man, I just wanna punch some suit every time I hear this song. What would happen if one wandered into the bar while we are playin it..
