Worried nation, what have we done?
One invasion
Left your knees drowning in the water
As the seas, rising in these times, overflowing
And ya begging for mercy
Retaliation

Don't say I never told ya
Shame of the nation
Kids never growing older
Retaliation

Don't say I never told ya
Shame of the nation
Kids never growing older
No redemption, why I'm coming home
No redemption, why I, I've been coming home
You ask me to forgive you

And you ask me to forgive you, darlin
And you ask me to forgive you
Oh I can't forgive, I can't forgive
Retaliation

Don't say I never told ya
Shame of the nation
Kids never growing older
Retaliation

Don't say I never told ya
Shame of the nation
Kids never growing older
When I get there to a better place

There's a dark tree, no order
When I'm making to a better place
There's a dark tree, no order
There's a less time to be free my friend

No one makes it out alive
We'll if can call you my friend
I can have some piece of mind
Retaliation

Don't say I never told ya
Shame of the nation
Kids never growing older
Kids never growing older
Kids never growing older
Kids never, never
Kids never growing older
