How did we get into this mess? The question is a hypothetical... The answers are Written on the face of the oppressed Sent to death at just 19 Forevermore to be unseen His mother with tears in her eyes Crying to God She calls out, "Why!?!?" She'll find her answers On the face of the oppressed I bow my head in respect Of the dead Because we're all bogged down And there ain't no fucking S.O.S That's going to save our sinking ship Because we're all bogged down No there ain't no fucking S.O.S That's gonna save our sinking ship (Our ship) How did we get into this mess? The question is a bona fide literal The answers are written on the face of the oppressed We all the know the answers why They sold a lie to build Versailles! You can roll over and die Or you can rain down hell tonight! You'll find your answer On the face of the oppressed I bow my head in respect Of the dead Because we're all bogged down And there ain't no fucking S.O.S. That's going to save our sinking ship Because we're all bogged down And no there ain't no fucking S.O.S. That's going to save our sinking ship (Our ship) In the ash of your city lies fertile ground (In the ash of your city lies fertile ground) In the ash of your city lies fertile ground (In the ash of your city lies fertile ground) This nation's burning, burning down (This nation's burning, burning down) This nation's burning to the ground This is the modern Rome burning Let it burn This is the modern Rome burning Let it burn This is the modern Rome burning Let it burn Let it burn This is New York burning This is Boston burning This is Omaha burning This is Washington burning This is Pittsburgh burning This is Birmingham burning This is the modern Rome burning Let it burn Let it burn (Burn, burn, burn)
