never thought I’d see the day

You know it's bad when the pope can't even speak Now they

can't stand teachers who teach your kids to speak Neighbors turning strangers,

screaming through the glass They say the storm is coming,

and it's coming fast The red

flags held up by a grin The blue

waving in the wind A million loaded questions resting on a pin

We're tearing down the house just to claim the floor

Welcome to the prelude of the modern civil war

The textbooks used to say the rebels will protect us Now they

say the rebels are about to try to end us They put

up their guns and aim… (ohhh)

Get a grip!

This is it!

They're about to sink this ship!

Let it burn, decay and melt away

Never thought America would look this way (Woah hey..)

The news screams, alarms ring

Your uncle yells at the TV screen Mom says: just give it

time, it will all be fine But now time isn't on our

side

(ooh yeah)

(ohhhh) They put up

their

guns and aim…

Get a grip!

Take a hit!

They're about to sink this ship!

Let it burn, decay and melt away

Never thought I'd see the day (Woah hey..) (ahhhh)

Get a grip!

This is it! They're about to sink this ship!

Let it burn, decay and melt away

Never thought America would look this way

Never thought I'd see the day

(Woah woah hey..!) (ahhhh) Welcome to the prelude…
