This is one of Rise Against’s heavier songs. The first track on their album Siren Song of the Counter Culture. It discredits President George W. Bush’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which Tim McIlrath believes are unjust and pointless.

State of the Union Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity
We're taking on water and about to fucking sink
No one seems to notice, no one even blinks
The crew left the passengers to die under the sea

[Chorus]
Countdown to the very end
Equality, an invitation that we won't extend
Ready aim, pull the trigger now
It's time you firmly secure your place in hell

[Verse 2]
State of the union address
Reads war torn country, still a mess
The words, power, death, and distorted truth
Are read between the lines of the red, white, and blue

[Chorus]
Countdown, to the very end
Equality, an invitation that we won't extend
Ready aim, pull the trigger now
It's time you firmly secure your place in hell
Your place in hell
Your place in hell

[Outro]
Guilty is what our graves will read
No year, no family, we did nothing (nothing!)
To stop the murder of
Of people just like us
