Lyrics

I know it's important to my country
To look good in front of the world
The be number one, ah, field the largest
To have diamonds and pearls
But someone tell my country there are some things
That are long, long past due
That would bring peace, love and happiness
To me and to you
Why can't we take care of home?
Take care of home
Why can't my country take care of home?
Take care of home
I know it's important to have great armies
To strike fear in all men
To police other nations, under false relations
To show that we can win
But someone tell my country there are some things
That are long, long past due
That would bring peace, love and happiness
To me and to you
Why can't we take care of home?
Oh, take care of home
Take care of home
My country, please take care of home
Help me out right here, mmm
Take care of home
Everybody, tell 'em, take care of home
Please, America, take care of home
Oh, take care of home
Take care of home
Mmm, take care of home, you know what I'm talkin' about?
America, take care of home
Take care of home
