Aidan Bernales - State Of The Nation Lyrics

[Chorus 1]

Everybody’s running wild and everybody’s running fast
They don’t know the things I’ve seen and they don’t know that things won’t last
Longer than commercial breaks or ads they see on magazines
When you said you’d run away, I wanted to run away with you

[Verse 1]

Cool kids rocking Filas drive by streets where they film filler films
There’s a burning candle on the spot where a young boy was killed
The newspaper headline’s about the five thousand peso bill
But who gives a fuck? Everyone’s out here watching television

[Verse 2]

Shut down media companies and Ressa goes to court again
Gold Olympic medal, twenty-nine dead for defending land
And Jadine was a hoax. who will you vote for in this election?
Can’t you take a joke? Why is this generation so serious?

[Verse 3]

Veto agriculture bills, children working in quarantine
Macho porn, One of the Boys, it’s Milo vs Ovaltine
14 years in Martial Law, 500 since Christianity
But who’s keeping score? We’re out here bashing our Miss Universes
[Verse 4]

SOGIE Equality Bill, seek justice for Cebu7
Simeon Dumdum Jr. and his poem about privilege
The Presidential Pardon, who can argue for those choked to death?
If no one’s here to speak, should it be me, should it be you, should it be them?

[Bridge]

Don’t cry
I told you this wasn’t worth the fight
If someone has to die tonight
I’m gonna be a hero

[Verse 5]

These men, they aren’t prophets and
They’re only here to profit and
They said that this was God’s land
So why’re they breaking promises?
It’s the fight for my future, but I would rather give it up
When you said you’d leave this country
I wanted to run away with you

[Chorus 2]
Everybody’s running wild and everybody’s running fast
They don’t know what they’ll see but they know this shouldn’t be their last
It’s the fight of our futures, but I would rather give it up
When you said you’d leave this country, I wanted to run away
