You can balk, or you can fling
You don't have to know a thing
I drank all my roommate's booze
Cuz, this damn nation's born to lose
My brother said that we were dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can't you see where we could be
We're losing our men overseas..'Cause it's the state of the union
(state of the union)
That's numbing our innovation
Yes, it's the state of the union
(state of the union)
That's boring ourselves, again
Oh, the state of the union
(state of the union)
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the union
(state of the union)
Is causing mass destruction
From my home I've looked for jobs
I've got no response, or calls from knobs
When I broke down, I shit my pants
'Cause I can't shit, when i'd rather dance
I don't find that I have been
deprived of drinking all my gin
If that's the case, then who could tell
Where my story had begun?
'Cause it's the state of the union
(state of the union)
That's numbing our innovation
Yes, it's the state of the union
(state of the union)
That's boring ourselves, again
Oh, the state of the union
(state of the union)
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the union
(state of the union)
Is causing mass destruction
Yes even now, I'm still alone
Behind a wall that's made of stone
I think about where we have been
And all the sights that could be seen
I know it all could be worthwhile
If only I could force a smile
Now we turn ourselves back to TV
The truth of a nation we'll never see
'Cause it's the state of the union
(state of the union)
That's numbing our innovation
Yes, it's the state of the union
(state of the union)
That's boring ourselves, again
Oh, the state of the union
(state of the union)
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the union
(state of the union)
Is causing mass destruction
