My Private Nation
Why you gotta treat me like I'm a low-down dirty?
Climbin' up on 30
Dress like a kid to make me feel young punk
And talk junk, you must've fell out of your bunk
And smacked your head, or your face, or somethin'
I don't need, nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus, go on, and get yourself your own dream
'Cause this is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride, or you can go
Why you gotta step on shoes
When you don't know who's been in 'em?
Have you ever been more than a bump
On a rock that likes to roll
In the middle of a soup bowl in the sky?
Use your eyes, it's all you've got 'til you die
I don't need, nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus, go on, and get yourself your own dream
'Cause this is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride on, it ain't free
Leave a light on so you can see
How to get back when you go
How to get, how to give, how to make ends meet
How to lose, how to win, how to stay on the seat
How to use momentum to make the two wheels straight
How to wait, after it feels like you waited so long
And I don't need, nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus, go on, and get yourself your own dream
'Cause this is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation, yeah
This is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my generation, yeah
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride on, it ain't free (it ain't free)
Leave a light on so you can see
How to get back
Climbin' up on 30
Dress like a kid to make me feel young punk
And talk junk, you must've fell out of your bunk
And smacked your head, or your face, or somethin'
I don't need, nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus, go on, and get yourself your own dream
'Cause this is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride, or you can go
Why you gotta step on shoes
When you don't know who's been in 'em?
Have you ever been more than a bump
On a rock that likes to roll
In the middle of a soup bowl in the sky?
Use your eyes, it's all you've got 'til you die
I don't need, nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus, go on, and get yourself your own dream
'Cause this is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride on, it ain't free
Leave a light on so you can see
How to get back when you go
How to get, how to give, how to make ends meet
How to lose, how to win, how to stay on the seat
How to use momentum to make the two wheels straight
How to wait, after it feels like you waited so long
And I don't need, nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus, go on, and get yourself your own dream
'Cause this is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation, yeah
This is my own life, keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my generation, yeah
I'm alone, all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride on, it ain't free (it ain't free)
Leave a light on so you can see
How to get back
