Lyrics

If it were up to me
I know it ain't but if it was
The land of the free wouldn't cost so much, and the bank wouldn't own at all
I'd run things differently
I know I can't but if I could
I'd stand where lady liberty stood
Before I'd let her fall
I'd build a better life
And a bigger wall
If it were up to me, the churches would stay open
If it were up to me, the borders would stay closed
And the helping hand would go to those still working
Their fingers to the bone
I can't help but wonder how much better it would be
If it were up to me
The games they play with all of us
As our history turns to dust
Would all be over
And hang the Constitution back up
And fight for those who fought for us
I'd put "In God We Trust" right back there on the dollar
If it were up to me, the churches would stay open
If it were up to me, the borders would stay closed
And the helping hand would go to those still working
Their fingers to the bone
I can't help but wonder how much better it would be
If it were up to me
If it were up to me, there'd be a bolder line between good and evil
And wrong and right, and we the people, would always get to speak
Whatever we damn well plead
If it were up to me, the churches would stay open
If it were up to me, the borders would stay closed
And the helping hand would go to those still working
Their fingers to the bone
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be
I can't help but wonder how much better it would be
If it were up to me
