Burt Rutan by Kids in the Way Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Split the blackened sky, open flood gates wide
With just one little cry you open up your eyes
We live like whores
Oh baby, baby
We're killing dreams for little boys and little girls
[Chorus]
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
[Verse 2]
Awake the frozen souls, burn the idol bulls
Our lips pressed to the coal, a glowing cinder makes us whole
We wash our hands
Oh baby, baby
Of all the blood from innocence that we have shed
[Chorus]
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
[Bridge]
We are not a republican nation, we're not a democratic nation
In the fires we play
We're not a white nation, we are not a black nation
In the fires we play
We are a tired nation stuck in desperation
We need you again
We wash our hands of all the blood of innocence
[Chorus]
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
Split the blackened sky, open flood gates wide
With just one little cry you open up your eyes
We live like whores
Oh baby, baby
We're killing dreams for little boys and little girls
[Chorus]
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
[Verse 2]
Awake the frozen souls, burn the idol bulls
Our lips pressed to the coal, a glowing cinder makes us whole
We wash our hands
Oh baby, baby
Of all the blood from innocence that we have shed
[Chorus]
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
[Bridge]
We are not a republican nation, we're not a democratic nation
In the fires we play
We're not a white nation, we are not a black nation
In the fires we play
We are a tired nation stuck in desperation
We need you again
We wash our hands of all the blood of innocence
[Chorus]
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
It's our nation, we were living for the day
On our way to devastation, in the fires we play
