Nation Lyrics by Coyote Wall

War Machine

2019

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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 rеceive from the еarth
'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
When they leave in fifty years they'll wish that they'd stayed hid
'Cause we'll have built a nation baby
And we'll know what they did
[Chorus]
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
'Cause I love you so much and I don't wanna do it alone
(Start building a nation baby)
And I love you so much and I don't wanna do it alone
(Start building a nation baby)
'Cause I love you so much and I don't wanna do it alone
(Why won't you build me a nation baby)
'Cause I love you so much and I don't wanna do it alone
(I'm talking 'bout a nation baby)
'Cause I love you so much and I don't wanna do it alone
(Start building, Start building)
'Cause I love you so much and I don't wanna do it alone
'Cause I love you so much and I don't wanna do it alone
