Текст песни: The Modern Rome Burning + перевод

How did we get into this mess?

The question is a hypothetical…

The answers are

Written on the face of the oppressed

Sent to death at just nineteen

Forevermore to be unseen

His mother with tears in her eyes

Crying to god, she calls out «Why?!»

She’ll find her answers

On the face of the oppressed

I bow my head in respect

Of the dead

Because we’re all bogged down

And there ain’t no fucking S.O.S

That’s gonna save our sinking ship

Because we’re all bogged down

No, there ain’t no fucking S.O.S

That’s gonna save our sinking ship

Our ship

How did we get into this mess?

The question is a bona fide literal

The answers are

Written on the face of the oppressed

We all know the answers why

They sold a lie to build Versailles!

You can roll over and die

Or you can rain down hell tonight!

You’ll find your answer

On the face of the oppressed

I bow my head in respect

Of the dead

Because we’re all bogged down

And there ain’t no fucking S.O.S

That’s gonna save our sinking ship

Because we’re all bogged down

No, there ain’t no fucking S.O.S

That’s gonna save our sinking ship

Our ship

In the ash of your city lies fertile ground

(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)

In the ash of your city lies fertile ground

(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)

This nation’s burning, burning down

(This nation’s burning, burning down)

This nation’s burning to the ground

This is the modern Rome burning

Let it burn

This is the modern Rome burning

Let it burn

This is the modern Rome burning

Let it burn, let it burn

This is New York burning

This is Boston burning

This is Omaha burning

This is Washington burning

This is Pittsburgh burning

This is Birmingham burning

This is the modern Rome burning

Let it burn, let it burn

Burn, burn
