Take My Country Back

Lyrics

[Intro] Don't wanna take my country back I wanna take my country forward Don't wanna take my country back I wanna take my country forward Don't wanna take my country back [Verse 1] Everyone's preaching to their choirs Words billow up and get trapped in church spires Wisps of fury against one's neighbor Reeling around in the echo chamber [Pre-Chorus] Now look what we've done to ourselves We've really gone and fucked it, this time Look what we've done to ourselves [Chorus] So get up, get up and feel the rising tide I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide Get up, get up and feel the rising tide Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!) [Verse 2] There's anger stashed in the creases of your face That burning rage could gut a castle But you torch your neighbor And now your whole town is ablaze "Everyone is seeing red" Laugh the pyromaniacs in the stronghold Sparking fury against one's neighbor Twisting the truth with a "blamethrower" [Pre-Chorus] Now look what we've done to ourselves We've really gone and fucked it, this time Look what we've done to ourselves [Chorus] So get up, get up and feel the rising tide I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide Get up, get up and feel the rising tide Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!) [Interlude] I don't wanna take my country back, back I wanna take my country forward I don't wanna take my country back I wanna take my country forward I don't wanna take my country back I wanna take my country forward I don't wanna take my country back I wanna take my country forward [Bridge] I feel like we're living on the edge And the cliff's eroding I feel like we're living on the edge And the cliff's eroding I feel like we're living on the edge And the cliff's eroding I feel like we're living on the edge [Chorus] So get up, get up and feel the rising tide I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide Get up, get up and feel the rising tide Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!)
