Words and music by Andrew Sorenson
Vs 1:
We’ve got a bone to pick with people taking up a life of crime
No law and order leads the innocent to waste no time
Electing candidates who claim they want to see their city thrive
They turn their backs on us - emboldened criminals then come alive
What do they teach in school - some people want to see our country burn
The victim narrative is really something that you shouldn’t learn
Where does it get you but a life of hate and jealousy
Why don’t you put your mind to something good for your community
Chorus:
Agents of chaos try to take what’s yours and mine
Then people wonder why our country’s in decline
What’s the solution called - responsibility
Where do you find it? Wherever you may be.
Vs 2
Some learn the hard way that life just ain’t one big free for all.
So start a business if you think you have the wherewithal
Or run for office if you really think they can be swayed
Make sure to follow thru with all the promises that you have made
We’ve had it good so long so everybody’s coming over here
Bump up your knowledge take a breath and try to look austere
She is worth saving, the greatest country that there ever was
Let’s build and not tear down - it kinda makes you wanna give you pause
Agents of chaos try to take what’s yours and mine
Then people wonder why our country’s in decline
What’s the solution called - responsibility
Where do you find it? Wherever you may be.
Bridge:
Sometimes it makes a man just wanna throw a fit and scream and shout
They strike again and again - corrupted judges gonna let em out
Land of the free, home of the brave, what does it mean to you?
Guide and defend her - the Lord above is gonna see us through.
Vs 3
Stand up for freedom - the best patriot that you can be
This land is your land my land from sea to shining sea
Our fallen bled and died and then they made the ultimate sacrifice
They gave all they could give to provide for us a better life
We need a leader who is gonna help our country thrive
Someone who tells the truth and follows through - all rhetoric aside
We’ve come so far so fast in such a very short amount of time
Preserve, protect, and win should be our only social paradigm
Chorus
Agents of chaos try to take what’s yours and mine
But we won’t let them - stand up for what is right
What’s the solution called - responsibility
Where do you find it? Wherever you may be.
