One Nation by Simon Collins Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2005

I ain’t turnin’ my back on y’all
I ain’t burnin’ no flags and I’m not tryna hide or escape ya
I’m stayin’, right here
You wanna send me to Hell?
Go on ahead!
Cause there’s enough hell right here on Earth, dammit!
But I ain’t flying overseas to help murder or exploit poor people
And if I wanna die, I’ll die right here fightin’ you!
You my enemy, not no Middle Eastern, no Vietnamese or no alien from outer space
Selfishness is my enemy when I want freedom
And ignorance is my enemy when I want justice
Religion is my enemy when I want equality
You want me to fight a war for you, when you won’t stand up for me, and intend to steal my dreams?
Well you won’t even stand up for me in my own home country

One nation
One nation

Take a look at the history
When you agree to disagree
Reality on TV
It’s not a mystery
I am not your enemy
But you can see what you want to see
You are not my enemy
Because I see
One nation
Within all nations
You never knew you were livin’ in
One nation
Within all nations
You never knew you were livin’ in

You can take this life in me
Fill the world with atrocity
But all you steal and all you cheat
Is your own humanity
Please wake this world now from its sleep
Create a new philosophy

One nation
Within all nations
You never knew you were livin’ in
One nation
Within all nations
You never knew you were livin’ in

Selfishness is my enemy when I want freedom
One nation
And ignorance is my enemy when I want justice
One nation
Religion is my enemy when I want equality
One nation
One nation
Within all nations
You never knew you were livin’ in
One nation
Within all nations
You never knew you were livin’ in

One nation
You never knew you were livin’ in
