Rogue Nation

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
