Lyrics I Want My Country Back - Greg Brown

I Want My Country Back

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
