There may be a little more variation at the end of the song (around 2:19) if you really to it. Lyrics We're a nation full of dumbbells pulling nightshifts at the gym And we're a nation full of bookworm girls dumbing down to fall in love with them We're a nation full of suspects whistling dixie at the scene And we're a nation full of bad detectives selling clues to everyone we meet We're a nation full of envy insecure and losing sleep We're a nation full of jealous boyfriends driven nuts by facts and history We're a nation full of ivy it's wall to wall to wall all green And we're a nation full of soundbyte bloodcells bound in knots and swelling down the stream We wrap bibles up in blankets just in case we're watched in sleep But it's the slingshots underneath our pillows that keep us calm and rested and relieved 'Cause we're a nation built on egg shells, bandages, and apple seeds attractive homes on top of bruised foundations that come apart gradually... before they're leveled completely Yeah, before they're leveled completely.
