Michael Friedman, Greg Hildreth, Ben Steinfeld, Benjamín Walker E. - The Saddest Song lyrics

When it stops being fun
And your patience is done
And you see being President’s hard
With this country before you
That cannot be governed
You find yourself powerless
Bloody and scarred

And what is it for? The love of a people!
And who is it for? This nation we made!
That guy who did everything his way
Where has he gone?

So tonight I’ll sing the saddest songs
To everyone that I’ve done wrong
And if you don’t know how to sing along
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry but the band plays on
Jeremiah looked down on the people of Judah
And told them their future
Was bloody and cursed
When I think of the conflict and
The change that await's us
It’s gonna be hard
But this country comes first

Revolutions will come to you
Swift if you let them
The nation united cannot be undone
Adams, Jefferson, Washington
Monroe and Madison
Started a war, but it’s hardly begun

So we’ll ruin the bank
And we’ll cripple the courts
And we’ll take on the
World for America’s sake
And we’ll take all the land
And we’ll take back the country
And we’ll take, and we’ll take
And we’ll take and we’ll take

And this country I’m making
Cannot be divided!
The will of the people won’t stand in my way!
How can I tell you how deeply
I’ll make them all bleed?

And so I’ll sing the saddest songs
Of enemies who did me wrong
And the war will go on and on and on
And on and on and on as long as we need!
