Rise Against - Collapse (Post-Amerika) Lyrics
When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
When our summers grow longer and winters won't snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we've lost our will
That's how we'll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace
When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved
And the buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace
This is a chance to set things straight
To bend or break the rules back into place
There is no middle ground, no compromise
We've drawn the line
With perfect aim, we stand back and throw
Glass windows break and it's all about to blow
Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that it stays lit
Neutrality means that you don't really care
Cuz the struggle goes on even when you're not there
Blind and unaware
That's how we'll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace

Rise Against Collapse (Post-Amerika) Comments
The message of this is becoming more and more relevant.
woaw, so much a good song and good beat
Made a vid of my dog with this playing
This song is really good, however here started the decline.
hard to tell which is my fav <3
Definitely still relevant with all the SJW crap going on
Lol, if anything Rise Against are the SJW.
You missed the whole point, and Rise Against are very much, as you would describe, "SJW" (God i hate that term). they are Pro-LGBT, Vegan, Anti Racism, Anti Capitalism, and they are straight edge. they are also concerned about the environment
Still relevant Jesus fucking Christ
First Time i like it ..
Us Rise Against fans.... We aren't a fandom, but we aren't normal fans..... We're a fucking cult.
Actually, Im High as fuck, i saw your comment and i thought that it was cool as fuck, but i know deeply inside me, that tomorrow i will find that your comment is lame and narcissistic maybe even stupid.
Sorry bro but before i'll go to sleep you will be a damn genius in my perspective.
In fact, maybe not... Im not sure..well, we have to wait till tomorrow to find out.
And by the way, you have to know that we are both fans of Rise against, and i will punch in the face every person who will say that rise against music/lyrics isn't so incredibly fuckin' epic and mind blowing (in a very good way ofc)... just saying i case you think that Im just hating.
Speak for yourself you weirdo
This song is so relevant nowadays with what politicians want to push in Congress. One of my favorites of Rise Against!
Hasta el momento, eres el único (a parte de VEVO) que tiene la canción con muy buena calidad y no lastima mis oídos
Epic amazing
Great song!! Even though i prefer their older stuff, some songs from AtR are just epic too!
Another song with aimportant message to the world.
here you would say an important
they should definetly make a music video of this song!!!!!!!!!!
"post-Amedika?" :D
i dont usually like this type of music but i have to say that rise against are best at it
appeal to reason=best rise against album yet
Man, I love AtR. For me is the best Rise album, agree with you
BEST SONG EVER.. Its Current, And Its Simply What Will Happen Within The Distant Future If Nothing Is Done...
RA = AWESOME
this song like is sweetness!
best verse in my opinion
This is a chance to set things straight
To bend or break the rules back into place
There is no middle ground, no compromise, we've drawn the line
With perfect aim, we stand back and throw
Glass windows break and it's all about to blow
Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that it stays lit
Awsome song !
IMO? what does that mean?
kickflip does it matter lol
second post :):) kick balls song
Neutrality means that you don't really care
Cause the struggle goes on even when you're not there
Blind and unaware
