I Want My Country Back - Greg Brown

I want my country back

And a good dream to stand up for

Got my hand over my heart

But I don’t feel at home here anymore

Big, big flag above the big, big mall

And the shake rattle and roll to the core

Things sprawl after they fall

And I don’t feel at home here anymore

Homeland of Sojourner Truth

And Chief Joseph before

Many quiet words of wisdom drowned out by TV

And I don’t feel at home here anymore

Blind engineer, war train on the track

Many many a heart is sore

We want our country back

We want to feel at home here once more

I want my country back
