Rise Against - Survivor Guilt - text písně

("What are you talking about? America isn't going to be destroyed"
"Never? Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed.
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?
How much longer do you really think your own country will last? forever?")

Block the entrances, close the doors
Seal the exits cuz this is war

All gave some, some gave all
But for what I wanna know

Carry on, don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your light
In return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?

A fallen figure
Burn the heart
A family all but torn apart

And I fought with courage to preserve
Not my way of life but yours

Carry on, don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your light
In return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?

The campers reaching battered stones
With words that turn the cameras off
But once it meant, just fuck them up
Cuz freedom isn't free

They send our daughters and our sons
Deserts under burning sons
Sacrificial slaughtering
To fill the pockets of the weak

I'm not official in the way
Are we so easily deceived?
They carry on

("You're a shameful opportunist! what you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
"you have it backwards. it's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know")

Don't carry on
Just walk away
How many more sent to their graves
In this lasting war?

I fought your fight
Bought your light
In return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?
What purpose did I serve?
