Take Our Country Back Lyrics

Wasn't it so great,

In nineteen eighty eight?

When Presidents were white,

And gay couples had no rights?

And wasn't it so great,

In nineteen sixty eight?

When women couldn't choose,

After their bodies were abused?

They want to take our country back!

They want to take it so far back!

Won't it be so so great,

When men are free to hate,

And no one dares to fight,

When they take away our rights?

And when dissent becomes a sin,

Our country will be great again!

Wasn't it so great,

In nineteen fifty eight?

When whites had their own schools,

And they made all the rules?

And wasn't it so great,

In eighteen ninety eight,

When men had all control,

No women at the polls?

They want to take our country back!

They want to take it so far back!

Won't it be so so great,

When men are free to hate,

And no one dares to fight,

When they take away our rights?

And when dissent becomes a sin,

Our country will be great again!

Wasn't it so great,

In eighteen fifty eight?

When blacks were held as slaves,

And they all knew their place?

And wasn't it so great,

In sixteen twenty eight?

When we slaughtered the red man;

And traded beads for his land?

They want to take our country back!

They want to take it so far back!

Won't it be so so great,

When men are free to hate,

And no one dares to fight,

When they take away our rights?

And when dissent becomes a sin,

Our country will be great again!

And won't it be so great,

In twenty thirty eight?

When all the rights that we have won,

One by one have been undone?

When the truth is blurred by lies,

And justice slowly dies?

Because this time if they win,

They won't let us vote again!

They want to take our country back!

They want to take it so far back!

Won't it be so so great,

When men are free to hate,

And no one dares to fight,

When they take away our rights?

And when dissent becomes a sin,

Our country will be great again!

They want to take our country back!

They want to take it so far back!

Won't it be so so great,

When men are free to hate,

And no one dares to fight,

When they take away our rights?

And when dissent becomes a sin,

Our country will be great again!
