Letra de Failed States

Take a look at the powers that be Still believing they're making history Cruising on that diesel course Forcing life into a long-dead horse Every time one well is emptied Another foreign strike is pre-empted We're living on old fossil lives And lead by men cheating for their prize... Wars, shame and self-abuse Failed states are on the news All nations have to choose Survival or the noose We got the world to lose Old men draining the land Their souls turning to holes Penniless men were given their pens And the hanged-man rules With his split-brain views Blinded like mice we try to throw the dice With our hands tied up The money train don't stop
