Your Country
Unveiling the Soul of Our Nation: A Musical Reflection on Environmental Concerns and Social Justice
Lyrics
I don't understand why they're still clearing the land
I don't comprehend why they are still clearing the land
why they're poisoning the water
Perplexed about why they are contaminating the water
I don't understand
I lack understanding
Why our elected leaders become bottom feeders
Questioning why our elected leaders adopt unethical practices for the benefit of corporate interests
To the corporate man
Referring to corporate figures as the beneficiaries of such practices
I don't understand
Expressing continued confusion and frustration
Hey this is your country
Addressing the listener, asserting their connection to the country
Hey this is my country
Reiterating the ownership of the country, shared by both speaker and listener
I won't accept a law that don't protect my kids
Rejecting laws that fail to protect the speaker's children
From those who think they're above us
Identifying a perceived threat from those who consider themselves superior
I will persist to resist the temptation that exists
Expressing determination to resist tempting influences that contribute to societal division
Buying in to what keeps us separated
Rejecting conformity to elements causing separation among people
Hey this is my country
Reasserting ownership of the country, emphasizing its shared nature
Hey this is your country
Emphasizing the listener's connection to the country
Hey this is your country
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the collective ownership
No, I don't understand why they're still clearing the land
Reiteration of confusion about ongoing land clearing
why they're poisoning the water
Reiteration of perplexity regarding water pollution
I don't understand
Reiterating a lack of understanding
Why our elected leaders become bottom feeders
Repeating the criticism of elected leaders for serving corporate interests
To the corporate man
Identifying the corporate man as the beneficiary of such leaders
I don't understand
Expressing continued confusion and frustration
Hey this is your country
Addressing the listener, reiterating their connection to the country
Hey this is my country
Reiterating the shared ownership of the country
Hey this is your country
Repetition for emphasis, emphasizing the collective ownership
