How did we get into this mess?
Anti-Flag-The Modern Rome Burning Lyrics
The question is a hypothetical...
The answers are
Written on the face of the oppressed
Sent to death at just 19
Forevermore to be unseen
His mother with tears in her eyes
Crying to God
She calls out, "Why!?!?"
She"ll find her answers
On the face of the oppressed
I bow my head in respect
Of the dead
Because they"re all bogged down
And there ain"t no fucking S.O.S
That"s going to save our sinking ship
Because they"re all bogged down
No there ain"t no fucking S.O.S
That"s gonna save our sinking ship..
(Our ship)
How did we get into this mess?
The question is a bonafide literal
The answers are written on the face of the oppressed
We all the know the answers why
They sold a lot of girls aside
You can roll over and die
Or you can rain down hell tonight!
