Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war
This is our war
This is our war
Wash your mind out where's your morals
How many people have to live this sorrow
Life should not be begged or borrowed
How many really want to change tomorrow
We're still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We're still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today
Yeah we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
This is our war
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war
Divisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in the quest for power
We're still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We're still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today
Yeah we're all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
This is our war
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war
Is this the land of segregation
Is this a place that we call home
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more
This is our war
This is our war
We're into the red we're into the red
And as it burns the fire
We're under the threat we're under the threat
Will it still burn tomorrow
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war
This is our war
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
This is our war
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war
Is this the land of segregation
Is this a place that we call home
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more
This is our war
Once there was a nation divided
Now this is our war
This is our war
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more
