Portrait of a Failed State
She wakes in the morning
Drives to work, alone
He wakes up the children
Gets ready at home
They both hear the news
Another tragedy consumed
Frantic, they call the school
A false alarm, what can we do?
A portrait of a failed state
Live, love, laugh in a nation full of hate
A portrait of community today
Projection, is there no escape?
A portrait of a failed state
Run, hide, fight in a nation full of hate
Friends call each other
Keep in touch online
One got pregnant
They're not ready at this time
"What can I do?" She cries
In this state she can't say "no"
"I'm sorry", he tells her
"I'll be there soon now lock the goddamn door"
A portrait of a failed state
Live, love, laugh in a nation full of hate
A portrait of community today
Projection, is there no escape?
A portrait of a failed state
Run, hide, fight in a nation full of hate
A portrait of a failed state
Live, love, laugh in a nation full of hate
A portrait of a failed state
Run, hide, fight in a nation full of hate
Drives to work, alone
He wakes up the children
Gets ready at home
They both hear the news
Another tragedy consumed
Frantic, they call the school
A false alarm, what can we do?
A portrait of a failed state
Live, love, laugh in a nation full of hate
A portrait of community today
Projection, is there no escape?
A portrait of a failed state
Run, hide, fight in a nation full of hate
Friends call each other
Keep in touch online
One got pregnant
They're not ready at this time
"What can I do?" She cries
In this state she can't say "no"
"I'm sorry", he tells her
"I'll be there soon now lock the goddamn door"
A portrait of a failed state
Live, love, laugh in a nation full of hate
A portrait of community today
Projection, is there no escape?
A portrait of a failed state
Run, hide, fight in a nation full of hate
A portrait of a failed state
Live, love, laugh in a nation full of hate
A portrait of a failed state
Run, hide, fight in a nation full of hate
