Il testo della Modern rome burning

How did we get into this mess?
The question is a hypothetical
The answers are
Written on the face of the oppressed

Sent to death at just 19
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

Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking s.o.s
That's going to 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 going to save our sinking ship
Because we're all bogged down

And no there ain't no fucking s.o.s.
That's going to 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
