Hexen - Defcon Rising lyrics

The human animal; inherently selfish Will never change its harmful ways No matter how much progress or experience gained We are still inept, kept at bay I seek to see the good in this government And it has little to display! Who will rescue us from the spark of the apocalyptic collapse? Who will provide some rapture when the bringers of the end ama**? This race can't save it from itself, so much can't be restored Always won the battles, and we'll ultimately lose the war The Defense Condition rising With no foreign threat or attack America is imploding The people want true democracy back They will destroy this empire Who for a century s**ed the blood Of the third world and eastern states Reduced to rubble and mud, Unless we stop now...
