Lyrics
The Sadist Nation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One nation under the gun
Where forward thinking is shunned
A morbid tradition of archaic value systems
Where violence justified
Is just another pride
One nation under the gun
Where forward thinking is shunned
Under the surface lies a holy plastic empire
With guarded golden fences
Where misfortune shelters decisions
A pain wrought from blood flowing green
Under the surface lies a holy plastic empire
With guarded golden fences
The myth of protection is a sick fascination
A culture of violence is what you are feeding
Fear is an heirloom and hate is contagious
A nation of sadists is what you are breeding
It's everywhere
Everywhere that you see
But who decides
If you watch or turn the other cheek?
Everywhere
It's everywhere that you see
But who decides
If you watch or turn the other cheek?
And only in your mind
Is it your given right to be armed to the teeth
It's a common disease
The only immunity is to disarm
Where violence justified
Is just another pride
The myth of protection is a sick fascination
A culture of violence is what you are feeding
Fear is an heirloom and hate is contagious
A nation of sadists is what you are breeding
It's everywhere
Everywhere that you see
But who decides
If you watch or turn the other cheek?
Everywhere
It's everywhere that you see
But who decides
If you watch or turn the other cheek?
This holy plastic empire disease
One nation under the gun
Where forward thinking is shunned
A morbid tradition of archaic value systems
Where violence justified
Is just another pride
One nation under the gun
Under the surface lies a holy plastic empire
With guarded golden fences
Where misfortune shelters decisions
The myth of protection is a sick fascination
It's a common disease
The only immunity is to disarm
A nation of sadists is what you are breeding
