Lyrics:
i’ve had it with presidents
i’m done with the news
i’m finished with governments
you know they give me the blues
i’m weary of conspiracy theories
when the simplest answer is true
and when identity becomes escapism
that’s a subscription that self-renews
also i’ve had it with you
i’m not in charge of your happiness
it ain’t no fun
i don’t want to be trapped in this
wanna be a nation of one
oh oh oh oh I wanna be a nation of one
oh oh oh oh I wanna be a nation of one

i’m done with white noise
and proud boys
and god-given killing toys
and fascist divinity
i’m over cancel culture virtue vultures
profiteering victimhood and toxic femininity
can we incinerate the tik-tok houses
by the thousands
influencers might allow us
to watch them burn for free
if the content i provide ain't nothing new
well i’m content to blame you
and i think that we’re through
we are like siblings at best
it ain’t no fun
when we kiss its like incest
i wanna be a nation of one
oh oh oh oh I wanna be a nation of one
oh oh oh oh I wanna be a nation of one

i wanna secede from this union
fission is better than confusion
we’ve come to the natural conclusion
of late stage capitalism
new age socialism
polyamorous anarchism
i think i’m having an aneurism

a soft breeze used to strum our bodies
like a guitar
the sun lay its head on our knees
we were so near and yet so far
we survived every disease
i hope that god sees all the good that we have done
but every time it was you that i pleased
now i wanna be a nation of
one to wake when i want
two to eat at restaurants
three to fuck whom i will
four to have no one to kill
im talking five to cry at a movie alone
six to raise my very own clone
seven to give him everything when i’m done
oh yes, i want to be a nation of one
oh oh oh oh I wanna be a nation of one...
