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
