    Requiem For a Failed State

    Oh my

    Life has passed me by

    The country I was brought up in

    Fell apart and died

    Oh no

    Love's no longer there

    Cold wind blew away the sun

    That used to warm the air

    Lowdown

    Ooo! Feelin' pretty bad

    Feelin' like I lost the best friend

    That I ever had

    Lowdown

    Ooo! Got to find a way

    Got to make the people see

    The way I feel today

    -Peter Cetera
