You can walk, or you can run
You don t have to be someone
I went on a summer cruise
Upon an ocean born to lose
My brother said that he was dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can you see where we can t be
We re losing our blood in the sea
Cause it s the state of the nation
That s holding our salvation
Yes, it s the state of the nation
That s holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation

From my home I traveled far
I drove in my stolen car
When it broke down, I kissed the ground
Cause I don t kiss when you re around
I don t find that I have been
The portrait of an only son
If that s the case, then who could tell
Where my story had begun?
Cause it s the state of the nation
That s holding our salvation
Yes, it s the state of the nation
That s holding our salvation
Yes, the state of the nation
That s causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
That s causing deprivation

Even now, I m all alone
Behind a wall that s made of stone
I think about where we have been
And all the sights that could be seen
I know it all could be worthwhile
If only I could force a smile
Now we turn our backs to the sea
The shame of a nation we ll never be
Cause it s the state of the nation
That s holding our salvation
Yes, it s the state of the nation
That s holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Yes, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation

Standing on corners
And begging for quarters
For what? for you! (and you)
Busting my head
Cos that s what you said
For all of us -- fuck you!
Just like you!

People are happy
When they re not so trapped
By someone just like you! (and you)
Many more years
Of nothing but fear
Of anything you do!
1980 s was run...

Maybe you will and maybe you won t
Maybe you care, but hey I d like to think you don t
Maybe you re right and maybe I m wrong
Maybe you stay up worrying about it all night long?

Danger, there s a man...

I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worth while

Don t you know that love is like a thread
That keeps unraveling the bed
It...

Sometimes I feel I ve got to
Run away I ve got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I ve lost my light
For I toss and turn I can t sleep at...

I set out on the voyage of the conquering fools,
lookin for the gold and the modern day jewels
It come to pass what was stuck in my head,
if I didn t quit on-looking that I d probably be dead

I hit the...
