Lyrics

Hellnation's when they teach us
Profiting from greed
Hellnation's what they give us
Coke, heroin & speed

Hellnation's when they tell you
You gotta go clean up your act
You're the one who dragged me here
And now you drag me back

To this hellnation

Chorus
Problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in the hellnation

Hellnation's when the president
Asks for four more fucking years
Hellnation's when he gets it
By conning poor people and peers

Hellnation—got no choice
What's the point of trying to vote?
When this country makes war
We all die in the same boat

In this hellnation

Chorus

It's the only world we've got
Let's protect it while we can
It's all there is and there ain't no more

Hellnation—asking please
For a nuclear freeze
So the unborn kids
Get their chance to live and breathe

Hellnation asking aid
For the minimum wage
So the kids of tomorrow
Don't wind up slaves to their trade
In the hellnation

Chorus
