Rogue Nation

歌詞

Well, this country's in the pits, so I really I should admit That I feel it's time to do something about it Our democracy is splintered, sold out to the highest bidder And I only see a single way around it Let's stop being so attendant, and declare our independence And create a nation where we're in control We can find a little island, and we'll climb up to the highlands And we'll paint a flag and hoist it from a pole It's sounding pretty sweet, but it's a little incomplete There'd be nothing there to eat but weeds and ants We could bring along some friends, and they could do the odds and ends And start a farm so we could live off of the land They'd need a place to stay, so we could find a way to pay To hire an architect and builders to construct it I suppose they'd need to buy some rudimentary supplies They could use my credit card, and just deduct it In the matter of a minute, my card would hit its limit So we'd need to find some funding from our friends We'll need to form an axis, if the mother land attacks us And we'd better start an army to defend We'd be careful on the spending, we'd have banks to do the lending And we'd stay away from selfishness and greed But I think our little nation's gonna need some light taxation If we want to pay for everything we need Like schools and banks and shopping malls Fighter jets and border walls City bus and subway stops Doctors, cops and doughnut shops Water, gas and sewer lines Superhighways, traffic signs Museums, parks, aquariums Zoos and planetariums I might need to think this through, cuz there's a lot of things to do Just to get this little nation on the map And I'm not sure that I would make it, yeah, this emperor is naked And I'm tired and I'm ready for a nap Maybe I should stay at home And fix the problems on this road And spread out to the neighborhoods And make a change and do some good We have got so many years To make our mark and disappear And enjoy the parks, aquariums Zoos and planetariums
