Are they afraid? Are they ashamed? But who is to blame?
She's lost it, she had the whole world at her feet
For a nation, they'd fight each other in the street
She is a painting, have we ever walked her roads?

Are they afraid? Are they ashamed? Who is to blame?
The answer, we'll let the people have their land

For a nation, they'd fight each other in the street
Well she's a painting, have we ever walked her roads?
And she's kind of sure but it's barricaded up with boards
