a nation fit for heroes

The Damned

Nice house and a wall around your land
Big mall and your pet designer brand
Chance to get your face on some real TV
Some petrol and a car so you can feel free, free, free

We ll make it, oh
A nation fit for heroes
The evidence is all overdue
Ovation for the Neros
Who fiddle while the world s burning down
One view with a single blaring headline
One man, an agenda and a deadline - looming
But never mind the things that the papers say
The golden eagle sings and they go away, way, way

They call it, oh
A nation fit for heroes
The evidence is all overdue
This zombie land for zeros
From cradle to the grave, and beyond

Oh, a nation fit for heroes
The evidence is all overdue
Ovation for the Neros
Who fiddle while the world s burning

Oh, a nation fit for heroes
The evidence is all overdue
This zombie land for zeros
From cradle to the grave, and beyond
