Country of One
You can black out the windows
Bolt all the doors
When you hear someone knocking
Prostrate on the floor
Press the mute button
With the ring of the phone
Where you're always alone
In a country of one
You can construct a sign
Raise high your fist
Write out demands
On your latest wish list
Scream till you're horse
At the top of your lungs
All this and more
In a country of one
Call a single summit
To bring about peace
Declare that you've won it
Then set yourself free
But can you talk
And at the same time chew gum
Walking the walk
In a country of one
You can tell yourself lies
Until you're satisfied
Question the answer
With no reason why
Subtract the hate
Add in the love
But still jump the gun
In a country of one
