The TakeAway
Words and music:
Ron Clayson


Verse 1:
I know you want to think they're the same as you and me.
I know you want to think they just see things differently.
I know you want to think they believe their doing what's best
for the people of our country and the land that we love. After all, they're our guests.
Verse 2:
Our country - was founded on the right to believe in God, as we choose.
Our country - was founded on the right to protect me and you.
Our country - was founded on the right to live our life as we please.
by Founders who believed they had found a better way. We call that liberty!

CHORUS:
Take away our guns, take away our God, take away our privacy,
Take away our borders, and our national pride, the want to change our history.
Take away the credit for the businesses we build, they want to take our prosperity.
Take away our Rights from the Bill of Rights, -- to contol our destiny

Verse 3:
I believe there is a God, I believe he made us free to raise our children as we please.
I believe that it is wrong when they regulate our will. I call that tyranny.
I believe man's weaknesses have not changed since our Founders wrote the words
that protect us from those who would dominate the world through the sword and the golden purse.

CHORUS:

Bridge:
I don't care about the party or the color of the skin. I won't judge a person's private life.
I only care when the action creates a reaction that -- (phrase from "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky)
