new order - state of the nation (live in california, 1987) lyrics

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
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
the state of the nation will never see

[chorus]
cause it’s the state of the nation, woo! (state of the nation)
that’s holding our salvation
the state of the nation (state of the nation)
that’s holding our salvation
the state of the nation (state of the nation)
is causing deprivation
the state of thе nation (state of the nation)
is causing deprivation

[verse 2]
from my homе 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?
[chorus]
cause it’s the state of the nation (state of the nation)
that’s holding our salvation
the state of the nation (state of the nation)
that’s holding our salvation
state of the nation (state of the nation)
it’s causing deprivation
the state of the nation (state of the nation)
it’s causing deprivation

[post+chorus]
state of the nation
state of the nation
state of the nation
state of the nation
state of the nation
state of the nation

[verse 3]
even now, i’m all alone
behind a wall that’s made of stone
i think about where we should be
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
[chorus]
cause it’s the state of the nation (state of the nation)
that’s holding our salvation
the state of the nation (state of the nation)
that’s holding our salvation
the state of the nation (state of the nation)
is causing deprivation
the state of the nation (state of the nation)
is causing deprivation

[instrumental outro]
