• Music video ideas
• Any images or videos of people leaving or prepping to leave America are to be shown in the music vid.

• Lyric ideas
• The lyrics may mention: 
• the broken healthcare system that has runaway costs that drives too many people into bankruptcy, 
• the rip-off education system, also with runaway costs, 
• the justice system that incarcerates too many inmates, and is many times not rehab-based, 
• and the other woes of America today that drives a growing number of people to leave the country.
