I've been talking to my friends, taking time each day
Reading all the papers, I don't care what they say
Watch the greedy starve the hungry, rich take from the poor
Strip the heart out of this nation, send our kids to war
You say we can do better than that
Let's take our country back

I've been thinking long and hard and if it's really true
If I have the power, here is what I'll do
Stop the greedy, feed the hungry, give back to the poor
Heal the heart of the nation, bring the kids home from the war
You say we can do better than that
Let's take our country back

This is our home, this is our land
We want it back again
Light the harbor, raise the flag
Let's take our country back

I've been talking to my friends, I've been taking time each day
Reading all the papers, we are not afraid
To stop the greedy, feed the hungry, give back to the poor
Heal the heart of our nation, stop the war

You say we can do better than that
Let's take our county back
