Lyrics
Take It Back
Mark Christopher
11/17/07 written/recorded
1) It's so hard to make it in this world today
When the man gives it all away
Just stay on your side, I'll stay on mine
And noone here wants to draw the line
2) Politicians are a disgrace to it all
They don't care if we stand or fall
They better stop before they push us too far
And make us have to take it back
-break-
Take it back, take it back
Please don't make us have to take it back
Because Jefferson didn't want you to do that
No, Washington didn't want you to do that
And we will take it back
3) They find it offensive when we pray and display
And if we let them, it'll all go away
With so many weapons in the world
And here we sit now, vulnerable
-break-
You tell us you'll build it, but it never gets done
You only think your day in the sun
Because Jefferson didn't want you to do that
No, Washington didn't want you to do that
And we will take it back
-solo-
-break-
If you could be honest, beyond reproach
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Because Jefferson didn't want you to do that
No, Washington didn't want you to do that
And we will take it back
