I wonder if you wanted to write, "it's knees?" Which means "it is knees." Don't you need the possessive pronoun "its" here? - 0057ed01, ENE 17, 2010

"El pais estaba de rodillas" could be followed by "por" such as "por la situacion economica tan fea"

El país encendido es rodillas era. But that is just a guess. And it's probably a colloquial term that may not be used in other countries.
