A Nation on Fire - Machine Head

Well I see, I feel

On my way

You close your eyes, scared to think what

You might see

A world that spends more to kill than to cure

Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure

It hardens me, the things I see

But I won’t break.

it gives me strength

Our suffering.

won’t always be

We’ll dominate.

this nation on fire

The media it

Blinds our eyes

A people divided

And force fed lies

The black and white societies corrode

Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes

So take my hand, across this land

I won’t go down, stand my ground

Our suffering.

won’t always be

We’ll dominate.

this nation on fire

This nation’s built on fighting war after war

And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for

'Cause I won’t break.

Your truth is fake

If blood ran red, you’d leave me for dead

A nation on fire

A nation on fire

You tell me peace, well I hear gunshots all night

The scars I have, I’ve earned 'cause I’ve had to fight

An endless pain, and it won’t change

We just sat by, and watched this world die

A nation on fire

A nation on fire
