(KEEP MAR-A-LAGO BUT) I WANT AMERICA BACK

​

It’s a long way to fall

From where we started from

It’s a long way to go

From where we’re starting now

I can’t believe with the lies that we’re living through

There aren’t riots in the streets

Don’t want to have another pissed off conversation

While we’re getting something to eat

I’m scared that everything we’ve treasured all along

Is already gone

 

Sick and tired of feeling uninspired

This is not how it’s supposed to be

Sick and tired of feeling righter

That’s not enough for me

I’m tired of waiting for this pendulum to swing

We’ve gotta start pushing back

Keep Mar-a-Lago but

I Want America Back

 

It’s hard to believe

How fragile this all was

It’s hard to believe

How fast we tore it down

Don’t want to watch the news on the TV tonight

’Cause I just can’t take anymore

Don’t want to listen to anymore justifications

’Cause we’ve heard ’em all before

I’m scared that everything we’re fighting to escape from

Is what we’ve become

 

Sick and tired of feeling uninspired

This is not how it’s supposed to be

Sick and tired of feeling righter

That’s not enough for me

I’m tired of waiting for this pendulum to swing

We’ve gotta start pushing back

Keep Mar-a-Lago but

I Want America Back
