Nation Over Nation lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tankard
Album: Two-Faced
Lyrics
Nation by nation
Like measles on the map
Sprouting in all directions
From mother russia's lap
The dream of independence
Seeking identify
As the old orders crumble
But you must learn to see
Greatness! raise the flag
Show your kids now proud it flies
This, my son, is god's own country
For its honour you must die
We are the chosen ones
This blood and soil is sacred
We above the rest
Nation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war
Chaos and damnation: nation over nation
Power is the key
That's behind the rhetoric
Patriotic anesthetic
Blinded crowds fall for the trick
Parades and uniforms
Masking internal crisis
Afterming foreign threats
Nation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war
Chaos and damnation: nation over nation
Ethnic manipulation
The curse of racial pride
Abuse by powermongers
Commiting genocide
"Nation" is a scheme
Giving power to elites
Ideology concealing
Exploitation and deceit
We are the chosen ones
This blood and soil is sacred
We above the rest
Nation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war
Chaos and damnation: nation over nation
