Take Back America Lyrics:

This county, what we need,
Is progressives to take the lead.
So let's Take Back America.

Let's unite and stand tall,
And win health care for all.
And let's Take Back America.

Green jobs for our nation
To end our oil fixation.
For the planet and economy.

We will fight for social justice,
Righting wrongs that are amongst us.
And we'll Take Back America.

To our troops in Iraq,
We will bring you back.
And support you here at home.

Jobs that are well paid,
Fair trade over free trade,
When we Take Back America.

When progressives take the lead,
With our vision to succeed,
We will Take Back America.
