Anti-Flag - The Modern Rome Burning Lyrics
How did we get into this mess?
The question is a hypothetical...
The answers are
Written on the face of the oppressed
Forevermore to be unseen
His mother with tears in her eyes
Crying to god, she calls out "Why?!"
She'll find her answers
On the face of the oppressed
I bow my head in respect
Of the dead
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Because we're all bogged down
No, there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Our ship
How did we get into this mess?
The question is a bona fide literal
The answers are
Written on the face of the oppressed
We all know the answers why
They sold a lie to build Versailles!
You can roll over and die
Or you can rain down hell tonight!
You'll find your answer
On the face of the oppressed
I bow my head in respect
Of the dead
Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Because we're all bogged down
No, there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Our ship
In the ash of your city lies fertile ground
(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)
In the ash of your city lies fertile ground
(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)
This nation's burning, burning down
(This nation's burning, burning down)
This nation's burning to the ground
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn, let it burn
This is New York burning
This is Boston burning
This is Omaha burning
This is Washington burning
This is Pittsburgh burning
This is Birmingham burning
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn, let it burn
Burn, burn
