Pick Up the Pieces (Greatest Of Nations)
Matt Pless

I come from the land where the paths are misleading;nwhere looks are deceiving.nI'm asking how come?nWhere all the wrong things are in all the right places,nthe greatest of nations is where I am from.nI've been down the road where I've walked with the giantsnwho promised me diamonds yeah, every last one.nI guess they were lying 'cause now I can't find them.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.nAnd I don't need a light and I don't need a guidenwho will leave me behind in the end.nI've awoken to find...yes, I think it's 'bout; time...nthat we picked up the pieces my friends.n'Cause I'm only an inmate of false independencenI'll serve out my sentence in shackles I'll runnwith stars in my eyes and stripes 'round my shoulders.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.nI went to the schools where you did what they told younand shaped ya' to mold ya' until you becomenan obsolete maker of patriot paper.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.nI've seen all the homes where the hearts are all breaking.nThe parents ain't speaking they don't get along.nThe kids wait by windows for brighter tomorrows.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.nYou don't have a prayer if you don't have a carenor the world in the palm of your hand.nBut one thing I've found is it keeps spinning 'roundnso lets pick up the pieces again.nI'm only an inmate of false independence,nI'll serve out my sentence in shackles I'll runnwith stars in my eyes and stripes 'round my shoulders.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.nI've grown in a system where nobody's listeningnAnd truth is what's missing; I'm looking for some.nCorrupt situations control populations.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.nI've learned all the lessons repressing expression.nAnd taught not to question; be deaf blind and dumb.nSo no one will know when the bombs start exploding.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.nWell I don't want to hide but I don't want to trynand abide by the standards they've set.nSo I'll sing it out loud 'til they all figure outnwe should pick up the pieces instead.nAnd I'll stand on the land where the past keeps repeatingnbut keep on believing the answers will come.nIt's clear we've got problems and we we've gotta solve them.nThe greatest of nations is where I am from.
