[Verse 1]
You see the blocks go cold
And the bills still climb
One set of rules for them
One long line for mine
The rich keep stacking more
While the carts run bare
The poor keep paying twice
Still nobody there
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear us at the gate
Hear us at the door
We spoke it plain and loud
But they want less, not more
[Chorus]
I want my country back
I want my country back
You took too much from us
Now watch us take it back
I want my country back
I want my country back
Say you hear the people now
Say you hear us back
[Verse 2]
The town hall doors stay shut
The suits won't meet our eyes
They talk in polished lines
While the whole place dies
The promise got sold off
Then sold off again
Every week the same old lie
Every day the same old grin
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear us at the gate
Hear us at the door
We spoke it plain and loud
But they want less, not more
[Chorus]
I want my country back
I want my country back
You took too much from us
Now watch us take it back
I want my country back
I want my country back
Say you hear the people now
Say you hear us back
[Bridge]
No more looking down
No more talking past
No more passing pain
To the ones at last
Open up the files
Open up the lies
Let the truth come out
Right in front of your eyes
[Final Chorus]
I want my country back
I want my country back
You took too much from us
Now watch us take it back
I want my country back
I want my country back
Say you hear the people now
Say you hear us back
