National Act

Be grateful
Say thank you for this opportunity
Cause you're going somewhere that you've never been
On a red-eye, coach-class, long line, American dream
For absolutely nothing

It's still a national act
When the novelty wears off
You'll still be wearing black
When the policy runs out

Be thankful
I'm leaving in a week, get home in April
We're going everywhere you've ever been
For nothing
And it's something

It's still a national act
When the novelty wears off
You'll still be wearing black
When the policy runs out

I can't afford, can't afford to not afford
I can't afford, can't afford to not afford
I can't afford, can't afford to not afford
I can't afford, can't afford to not afford

It's still a national act
When the novelty wears off
You'll still be wearing black
When the policy runs out
