The The - Heartland Beneath the old iron bridges, across the Victorian parks and all the frightened people running home before dark Past the saturday morning cinema that lies crumbling to the ground And the piss stinking shopping centre in the new side of town Ive come to smell the seasons change and watch the city as the sun goes down again Here comes another winter of long shadows and high hopes Here comes another winter, waitin for utopia, waitin for hell to freeze over This is the land, where nothing changes The land of red buses and blue blooded babies This is the place, where pensioners are raped and the hearts are being cut from the welfare state Let the poor drink the milk, while the rich eat the honey Let the bums count their blessings, while they count the money So many people, cant express whats on their minds, nobody knows them and nobody ever will Until their backs are broken and their dreams are stolen And they cant get what they want, then theyre gonna get angry Well it aint written in the papers but its written on the walls, the way this country is divided to fall So the cranes are moving on the skyline, tryin to knock down this town But the stains on the heartland can never be removed from this country thats sick, sad, and confused Here comes another winter, of long shadows and high hopes Here comes another winter, waitin for utopia, waitin for hell to freeze over The ammunitions being passed (This is the 51st state), and the lords been praised But the wars on the televisions will never be explained All the bankers getting sweaty (This is the 51st state) beneath their white collars As the pound in our pocket turns into a dollar This is the 51st state of the USA. This is the 51st state of the USA. This is the 51st state of the USA. This is the 51st state of the USA. (USA) This is the 51st state of the USA. This is the 51st state of the USA. This is the 51st state of the USA. This is the 51st state, state, state, state, state, state
