Rise Against - Survivor Guilt

[00:06.04] What are you talking about? [00:07.09] America is not gonna be destroyed [00:09.92] Never? [00:12.81] [00:15.94] Rome was destroyed [00:18.39] Greece was destroyed [00:19.35] Persia was destroyed [00:21.13] Spain was destroyed [00:23.83] All great countries are destroyed [00:26.78] Why not yours? [00:28.35] How much longer do you think your country will last? [00:33.35] Forever? [00:37.56] [00:42.27] Block the entrances, close the doors [00:46.31] [00:49.22] Seal the exits 'cause this is war [00:55.91] All gave some, some gave all [00:59.11] But for what, I want to know [01:02.84] Carry on [01:04.46] Don't mind me [01:06.22] All I gave was everything [01:09.23] And yet you ask me for more [01:15.54] Fought your fight [01:17.41] Bought your lie [01:19.27] And in return I lost my life [01:22.52] What purpose does this serve? [01:28.93] [01:38.93] A folded flag, a purple heart [01:45.63] A family all but torn apart [01:52.38] And I fought with courage to preserve [01:56.05] Not my way of life, but yours [01:59.69] Carry on [02:01.14] Don't mind me [02:02.89] All I gave was everything [02:06.27] And yet you ask me for more [02:12.88] Fought your fight [02:15.29] Bought your lie [02:17.00] And in return I lost my life [02:21.03] What purpose does this serve? [02:27.73] [02:37.37] The cowards preach from pedestals [02:38.37] With words like courage and resolve [02:39.77] But what they meant was fuck them all [02:41.11] Because freedom isn't free [02:42.45] They send our daughters and our sons [02:44.22] To deserts under burning suns [02:45.67] A sacrificial slaughtering to fill the pockets of the weak [02:50.11] An artificial enemy [02:55.55] Are we so easily deceived(? [03:02.40] [03:06.28] (Hey, carry on) [03:10.93] You're a shameful opportunist [03:12.99] What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees [03:17.65] You had it backwards [03:20.66] It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees [03:23.91] Go carry on [03:25.88] Just walk away [03:27.07] How many more sent to their graves [03:30.79] In this lesson ignored? [03:36.71] I fought your fight [03:38.30] Bought your lie [03:39.72] And in return I lost my life [03:43.79] What purpose does this serve? [03:49.36] What purpose did I serve? [03:53.94]
