a nation on fire — 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

Chorus

Our suffering, won't always be We'll dominate, this nation on fire

The media it Blinds our eyes A people divided And force feds 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

Chorus

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's 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 by, and watched this world die A nation on fire A nation on fire
