Go Back
Are we going to go back,
And rebuild all they've dismantled?
Fix this relentless ruin
Of everything Roosevelt imagined?
(Everything we ever handled)
Go back! Go back!
Put it together again
Go back! Go back!
Undo the damage and then
We can start again
What kind of glue do you use
For things broken since the eighties?
Are we going to pay the workers
Trillions in stolen back wages?
(It's a problem for the ages)
refrain
Are you going to go back
Separate state from the steeple?
Education always free
And doctors for all the people?
(Health is fundamental)
refrain
Do you think it's possible
To roll back a single session
Of this acid they pour on our work
Burning all of our lessons?
(They claim to be a rebellion)
refrain
Do you think we can heal
The lives we've lived, seen, and felt
Decades, decades of stealing
The working class from their wealth?
(Doesn't make any sense)
Let's undo the bad investments
Undo the deep recessions
Undo the mistakes - intentional breaks
Of incompetent wealth and obsessions
refrain
How're we gonna undo
These decades of destruction?
How're we gonna put history back?
The grave's been marked for reduction
(A painful day of instruction)
refrain
Yeah we're gonna go back
And clean up all this pollution
Now we're gonna undo
The Reagan revolution
(A workers' party solution)
refrain
How are you going to go back
Undo all of these lies?
