[Intro]
Huddled in this acid nation with apprehension
You are expected to gulp down hindrance
Huddled in this acid nation with apprehension
You are expected to gulp down hindrance
[Verse 1]
This is a celebration
Of spirit and of mind
When your body's resignation is heard
You can't ignore
[Chorus]
This is an acid nation
We will persevere
This is an acid nation
We will persevere
[Post-Chorus]
Feel the rays beat down
Feel the rays beat down
[Verse 2]
Next time you open your eyes
Be thankful the world
Never wears a disguise
Here's the sun to reveal
[Chorus]
This is an acid nation
We will persevere
This is an acid nation
We will persevere
[Post-Chorus]
Feel the rays beat down
Feel the rays beat down
[Bridge]
And anyway, who cares?
The sun is out
[Outro]
So stare at the sun
Stare at the sun
This is everything I ever wanted
This is everything I ever wanted
This is everything I ever wanted
This feeling's all I need
