State of the Nation - Live at Irvine Meadows, California, September 1987; 2023 Digital Master

[00:00.04] You can walk or you can run
[00:46.49] You don't have to be someone
[00:50.67] I went on a summer cruise
[00:54.88] On a nation born to lose
[00:58.68] My brother said that he was dead
[01:02.80] I saw his face and shoved my head
[01:07.33] Can you see where we can be
[01:11.28] The state of a nation we'll never see
[01:14.86] 'Cause it's the state of the nation
[01:17.76] State of the nation
[01:19.01] That's holding our salvation
[01:23.84] The state of the nation
[01:26.02] State of the nation
[01:27.47] Is holding our salvation
[01:32.21] The state of the nation
[01:34.55] State of the nation
[01:35.88] Is causing death inflation
[01:39.93] The state of the nation
[01:43.49] State of the nation
[01:44.55] Is causing death inflation
[02:06.06] From my home I travelled far
[02:10.31] I drove in my stolen car
[02:14.28] When it broke down I kissed the ground
[02:18.37] 'Cause I don't kiss when you're around
[02:23.00] I don't find that I have been
[02:26.71] The portrait of an only son
[02:31.00] If that's the case then who could tell
[02:35.32] When my school we had begun
[02:38.59] 'Cause it's the state of the nation
[02:41.56] State of the nation
[02:43.02] That's holding our salvation
[02:47.73] The state of the nation
[02:50.05] State of the nation
[02:51.30] Is holding our salvation
[02:55.31] The state of the nation
[02:58.94] State of the nation
[02:59.80] Is causing death inflation
[03:04.54] The state of the nation
[03:06.72] State of the nation
[03:08.17] Is causing death inflation
[03:12.81] State of the nation
[03:19.43] State of the nation
[03:23.62] State of the nation
[03:25.63] State of the nation
[03:27.71] State of the nation
[03:28.64] State of the nation
[03:32.68] Even now I'm all alone
[03:50.60] Beside a wall that's made of stone
[03:54.88] I think about where we should be
[03:59.48] And all the sights that could be seen
[04:03.35] I know it all could be worthwhile
[04:07.34] If only I could force a smile
[04:11.49] Now we turn our backs to see
[04:15.74] The shame of a nation we'll never be
[04:19.32] 'Cause it's the state of the nation
[04:22.39] State of the nation
[04:23.65] That's holding our salvation
[04:28.32] The state of the nation
[04:30.72] State of the nation
[04:32.25] Is holding our salvation
[04:35.39] The state of the nation
[04:39.04] State of the nation
[04:40.38] Is causing death inflation
[04:45.35] The state of the nation
[04:47.45] State of the nation
[04:48.90] Is causing death inflation
