A Nation on Fire - Intellectual

[Instrumental Intro]

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

That's right!

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

Oh, 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

Yeah, that's right!

Our suffering

Won't always be

We'll dominate

This nation on fire!

Go!

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!

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!
