Army of a Nation Lyrics by Alec Benjamin

Mixtape 2: Animal

2013

[Verse 1]
Here there is no future, here there is no time
Here you're moving backwards with your fingers on rewind
A place where there is money, a place where there is greed
To bring us all together as a happy family
Maybe that's the answer, maybe we're machines
Maybe we were meant to live out other people’s dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't think that I am ready to live out my own life
And I don't think I know the balance
Between what is wrong and right
[Chorus]
And here we are, this ordinary life
We've come this far, but nothing turned out right
We stand, and we march, we all walk the same line
We are the army of a nation, the army of a nation, yeah
Americana's vacation, we are the army of a nation
[Verse 2]
How can you see the difference when everyone's the same?
And everything you know is just the price you choose to pay
And if you wanna go there, I hope you wanna stay
'Cause once they let you in you find that there is no escape
I think I see the difference; that everyone's the same
The army of a nation, only with another name
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't think that I'm ready to live out my own life
But I don't think I know the balance
Between what is wrong and right
[Chorus]
And here we are, this ordinary life
We've come this far, but nothing turned out right
We stand, and we march, we all walk the same line
We are the army of a nation, the army of a nation, yeah
Americana's vacation, we are the army of a nation
[Bridge]
This ordinary life, this ordinary life, this ordinary life
This ordinary life
This ordinary life, this ordinary life, this ordinary life
[Chorus]
And here we are, this ordinary life
We've come this far, but nothing turned out right
We stand, and we march, we all walk the same line
We are the army of a nation
