lyrics

start building a nation
start building a nation on top of your own
when the first one collapses don't let it be all you have known

and keep a good journal
it might be an imperfect look at the past
but when the rabbit-hole collapses you gotta stare into the looking-glass

the white eyes of a gas mask
a cold unseeing stare
shadows inverted by atoms dissolved in the air
the future i give you
you're a slave to its tide
there's a war out there on the horizon with only one side

and keep to your garden
learn how to give and receive from the earth
cause sooner or later you'll be farming for all that you're worth

and live near your loved ones
or find a nice town and make up a plan
when you're building a nation you take all the love that you can

cause when they drop the atom bomb the rich ones will survive
they'll hide inside their bunkers but they won't really be alive
cause when they leave in fifty years they'll wish that they'd stayed his
cause we'll have built a nation baby
and we'll know what they did

start building a nation
start building a nation on top of your own
cause the future is dark but it sure isn't written in stone

start building a nation
start building a nation on top of your own
cause i love you so much and i don't wanna do it alone
