Built by Nations

"Built by Nations" is a song by Greta Van Fleet from their second studio album, The Battle at Garden's Gate. It is the fourth track of the album.

Background and composition
The song's main guitar riff came straight out from some jamming in the live performances of "Lover, Leaver (Taker, Believer)" during the March of the Peaceful Army in 2018 and 2019.

In a track by track interview, the band stated the song is about "when boys go to war", adding: "A mutiny that chronicles a unit of bewildered, young renegade soldiers, as they march into the mouth of hell. “Built by Nations” delves into challenging themes such as military moguls, the manufacturing of killing machines, and the spirit of a warrior."
