A nation on fire de Machine Head

Well i see, i feel
on my way
you close your eyes, scared to think
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 out 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, and watched this world die
a nation on fire
a nation on fire
