Buried in the Sun is an implicit commentary on U.S. interventionism abroad and the bliss ignorance of militant U.S. attitudes whose primary focus is the forced seizure of governments and resources in foreign lands, resulting in geopolitical conflict and bloodshed.
[Verse 1]
I saw the fire on the television-
The DOD or the CIA?
If we're the cops, then the world's our prison
2, 4, 6, 8, USA! (all right!)
[Chorus]
The blood red, the black gold
This is the air we breathe
The beachhead, the backroad
Buried in the sun
[Verse 2]
She felt the thrum of the helicopter
A little taste of that shock and awe
She tried to run, but the bullets caught her
Courtesy of our coup d'état (all right!)
[Chorus]
The blood red, the black gold
This is the air we breathe
The beachhead, the backroad
Buried in the sun
The blood red, the black gold
This is the air we breathe
The beachhead, the backroad
Buried in the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Buried in the sun
Buried in the sun
[Verse 1]
I saw the fire on the television-
The DOD or the CIA?
If we're the cops, then the world's our prison
2, 4, 6, 8, USA! (all right!)
[Chorus]
The blood red, the black gold
This is the air we breathe
The beachhead, the backroad
Buried in the sun
