Lyrics
Intro
One nation, under nothing
Verse 1
We built a god out of money and guns
We kneel to screens, we worship the dumb
Freedom sold in plastic bags
With corporate logos and body bags
They draw the lines, we choose a side
Red and blue, but it’s black inside
Same old kings with different names
Same old wars, same old graves
Pre-Chorus
They say behave, they say comply
Smile wide while the truth goes by
Chorus
Welcome to the holy disaster
Land of the lost, home of the bastards
Pray for profit, kill for peace
Wave that flag while you rot in the streets
We sing along to the end of days
Laugh it off but we’re all afraid
This is the anthem of the damned
No future, no promised land
Verse 2
They teach kids how to shoot and hate
But not how to think or how to relate
History washed in bleach and lies
So no one knows who really died
Every preacher needs a jet
Every leader’s hands are wet
They talk about god, family, law
While robbing everyone they saw
Pre-Chorus
They say it’s fine, they say it’s fair
But nobody wins in this nightmare
Chorus
Welcome to the holy disaster
Land of the lost, home of the bastards
Pray for profit, kill for peace
Wave that flag while you rot in the streets
We sing along to the end of days
Laugh it off but we’re all afraid
This is the anthem of the damned
No future, no promised land
Bridge (half time)
We don’t need saving
We don’t need lies
We need a reason
To stay alive
Bridge (fast)
Burn the script, rewrite the lie
Build something before we die
Final Chorus (double energy)
Welcome to the holy disaster
Land of the lost, home of the bastards
Pray for profit, kill for peace
Wave that flag while you rot in the streets
We sing along to the end of days
Laugh it off but we’re all afraid
This is the anthem of the damned
No future, no promised land
Outro
No future…
No promised land…
