You were never truly loved You've only been betrayed You were never truly nurtured By churches or the state You left unprotected To these wild and fragile lands That you could rise up like a god Arm yourself, you can be strong You can build a nuclear power Transform the earth to your desire Free your mind from false beliefs You can be the commander in chief You can hide your true motives To dismantle and destroy Now you finally have good I have given you good There's no country left To love and cherish it's bond It's gone for good It's here and maybe Survivors To hunt and gather memories Of the great nation we were There are no countries left To fight and conquer I think I destroyed them all It's human nature The greatest Until we'll survive alone With no one left to love There's no country left To love and cherish, it's gone You know it's gone for good A trillion memories last in Space and time forever more I just wanted, I just needed to be loved
