Tom Morello
Death of a Nation
When all you needed was a little motivation
They pointed fingers and yelled dead generation
When all you needed was a little care
What you got nothing but an old white hair bland stare
Have you ever needed an ounce of love
And all you got was a whole lot of fucked
So say your prayers
It's the death of a nation
Say your prayers
For the dead generation
Condescending broad generalizations
Get real old real fast
Just because most hippies and their parents have sold out
Does not mean that you, your children, and their kids won't last...
So say your prayers
It's the death of a nation
Say your prayers
For the dead generation
Aggressiveness is godliness
Combativeness is holiness
Destructiveness is faithfulness
Deadliness is devoutness
Praying to a god that they created
And know damn well does not exist...
We find them on their knees
