51st State
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.
This is the 51st state
Where democracy has failed
We've a war on our consciences and blood under our nails
Oil drums but we're still paying at the pump
Oil drums it's a mystery how we got so dumb
Oil drums gotta tell 'em we don't want they're war
Oil drums and then the government will fall
This is the 51st state
where the people have no voice
we've been looking for a leader
but we never had a choice
Oil drums but we're still paying at the pump
Oil drums it's a mystery how we got so dumb
Oil drums gotta tell 'em we don't want they're war
Oil drums and then the government will fall
