[00:41.38] You can walk, or you can run
[00:45.44] You don't have to be someone
[00:49.68] I went on a summer cruise
[00:53.70] Upon an ocean born to lose
[00:57.72] My brother said that he was dead
[01:01.94] I saw his face and shook my head
[01:06.05] Can you see where we can't be
[01:10.11] We're losing our blood in the sea
[01:13.19] 'Cause it's the state of the nation (state of the nation)
[01:17.96] That's holding our salvation
[01:22.21] Yes, it's the state of the nation (state of the nation)
[01:26.36] That's holding our salvation
[01:30.75] Oh, the state of the nation (state on the nation)
[01:34.59] Is causing deprivation
[01:38.83] Oh, the state of the nation (state of the nation)
[01:43.12] Is causing deprivation
[02:04.49] From my home I traveled far
[02:08.25] I drove in my stolen car
[02:12.12] When it broke down, I kissed the ground
[02:16.25] 'Cause I don't kiss when you're around
[02:20.51] I don't find that I have been
[02:24.71] The portrait of an only son
[02:28.73] If that's the case, then who could tell
[02:33.00] Where my story had begun?
[02:36.42] 'Cause it's the state of the nation (state of the nation)
[02:40.70] That's holding our salvation
[02:44.57] Yes, it's the state of the nation (state of the nation)
[02:49.10] That's holding our salvation

[03:10.07] State of the nation (state of the station)
[03:14.48] State of the nation (state of the station)
[03:18.50] State of the nation (state of the station)
[03:22.69] State of the nation (state of the station)
[03:43.48] Even now, I'm all alone
[03:47.40] Behind a wall that's made of stone
[03:51.45] I think about where we have been
[03:55.58] And all the sights that could be seen
[03:59.66] I know it all could be worthwhile
[04:03.89] If only I could force a smile
[04:08.13] Now we turn our backs to the sea
[04:12.13] The shame of a nation we'll never be
[04:16.00] 'Cause it's the state of the nation (state of the nation)
[04:20.00] That's holding our salvation
[04:24.11] Yes, it's the state of the nation (state of the nation)

[04:44.70] It's causing deprivation
