State Of The Nation — текст песни (New Order)

You can walk, or you can run
You don`t have to be someone
I went on a summer cruise
Upon an ocean born to lose
My brother said that he was dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can you see where we can`t be
We`re losing our blood in the sea
`Cause it`s the state of the nation
That`s holding our salvation
Yes, it`s the state of the nation
That`s holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation

From my home I traveled far
I drove in my stolen car
When it broke down, I kissed the ground
`Cause I don`t kiss when you`re around
I don`t find that I have been
The portrait of an only son
If that`s the case, then who could tell
Where my story had begun?
Cause it`s the state of the nation
That`s holding our salvation
Yes, it`s the state of the nation
That`s holding our salvation
Yes, the state of the nation
That`s causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
That`s causing deprivation

Even now, I`m all alone
Behind a wall that`s made of stone
I think about where we have been
And all the sights that could be seen
I know it all could be worthwhile
If only I could force a smile
Now we turn our backs to the sea
The shame of a nation we`ll never be
Cause it`s the state of the nation
That`s holding our salvation
Yes, it`s the state of the nation
That`s holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Yes, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
