lyrics

State of the Nation (3.47)
(McKella)

The situation's hopeless - Can I be so sure
The circumstance is changing - As they lay another law
Complicated strategy - Beyond the status quo
The system starts to fracture - And no-one wants to know

Chorus:

Looking for more reason
Reason to suspect
Suspecting all your reasons
I'll have to re-inspect
it's the state of the nation
Outa control
State of the nation
Hitting an all time low.............
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The politicians tighten - the people start to bleed
the reason for more chaos - as the leaders start to weed
the people start to run - but there's nowhere left to go
with governments ambiguious - but do they really know

Chorus:

Looking for more reason
Reason to suspect
Suspecting all your reasons
I'll have to re-inspect
it's the state of the nation
Outa control
State of the nation
Hitting an all time low.............
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should the time be coming – when the system starts to break
the people start the running – running out the fake
elect a new leader -
now watch your system crack - crack

Chorus:

Looking for more reason
Reason to suspect
Suspecting all your reasons
I'll have to re-inspect
it's the state of the nation
Outa control
State of the nation
Hitting an all time low.............

Looking for more reason
Reason to suspect
Suspecting all your reasons
I'll have to re-inspect
it's the state of the nation
Outa control
State of the nation
Hitting an all time low.............
