I am a Nation

I am a Nation I'll defend at all cost.

My people are versed to think ‘profit and loss.’

I believe in an enemy / so if war ever comes.

I'll protect myself proudly, by pointing my guns

I don't tolerant my neighbours / if they stands in my way.

Anyone who threatens me / is surely to pay.

My people have learnt / to view one way of life.

Don't disrupt my balance, for there will surely be strife.

So keep your religion and idea's to yourself.

I have my own way of seeing things and I don't need your help.

Keep on your side of the border and all will be fine.

But if you cross my boundaries, / what's yours will be mine.

I am a Nation, I'll defend at all cost.

My people are versed to think profit and loss.

I believe in an enemy / so if war ever comes.

I'll protect myself proudly, by pointing my guns

I can pretend to be loving / tender and kind.

I am the provider of all of mankind.

You owe all to me for your life style and wealth.

now but if your in the minority, / don't rely on my help.

Now if your only one / your surely on your own.

I won't even hand you / the scraps off the bone.

I don't stand for decent / or individuals rights.

You will not survive under my powerful might.

I am a nation, / yes to me you are bound.

You must listen to me / but to my ever sound.

Don't follow your conscience / it will lead you to strife.

For I am the controller, of your very life.

Now I have my beliefs / they are dearest to me.

I'll put them above you / if that's the way it need be.

I have words in abundance / to achieve my ultimate goal.

To control you and rule you, / to enslave your very soul.

For nothing's is more important than the ‘will of the mass.’

Don't stand in defiance / just follow my task.

Don't use your resolve, / just do as I say.

Even if I say, “to survive you must kill.”

For I am a Nation, I'll defend at all cost.

My people are versed to think ‘profit and loss.’

I believe in an enemy, / so if war ever comes.

I'll protect myself proudly, by pointing my guns.

I am simply the keeper / of a collection of minds.

For I just follow orders / as you follow mine.

I can destroy planet earth, / I can make you my prey.

If it will be your wish, / I'll bring on judgement day

I don't listen to the lonely, / to individual souls.

‘I’ only listen / to the mass ‘as a whole.’

And if it is you who wants me, / if it's me you adore,

then suffer my ways / with all of my flaws.

For I am just a Nation / its not me you distain,

for the prejudice / the ignorance / the miserly the pain.

I am just a concept / that you seem to adore.

I am just a Nation!

I am a Nation, / and I'll defend at all cost.
