A rockin' demand to "Make Our Country Great!"
Words and music by Brad Mercer - Jimi Heil and Mark Fry
|
The whole idea came one night while I was jammin' with a band by the name of "Braun Fraulien" in a recording studio we affectionately call "The Compound" in Sky Valley, California. We had this really cool groove going and I started singing, "Drain the Swamp!...Drain the Swamp!..." It was probably stuck in my head as every time you turned on the TV someone was saying, "Drain the Swamp or Let's Make America Great Again!" This of course was during the heated Presidential Campaign. It was just a Rock Anthem created to express out thoughts on "Making America Great Again". We didn't care who did it, we just wanted it to happen.

HEARING ALL THIS TALK THEY SAY THEY’RE GONNA CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION
WALKING KNEE DEEP IN ALL THE LIES AND CONFUSION
CONGRESS ON THE HILL WONDERING WHAT THEY’RE GONNA DO
DOESN’T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE IF ONLY SOMEONE KNEW
HOW TO CHANGE THE THINKING OF A POWER HUNGRY LAND
AFRAID TO SAY THEY BLEW IT
MADE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAD
HOW CAN SOMEONE ANALYZE STUPIDITY AND FLAW
WE SHOULD ALL GET TOGETHER
PUSH ‘EM UP AGAINST THE WALL
DRAIN THE SWAMP! X4
THEY’RE PARANOID OF SPYIN’
WHILE THEY’RE SITTIN’ THERE LYIN’
LAUGHIN’ AT THE PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE
SUPPORTIN’ THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES
STACKIN’ UP ALL THE BOUNDRIES
WHILE TELLIN’ US TO GO GREASE IT UP
YEAH GREASE IT UP
DRAIN THE SWAMP! X4
IT ONLY STANDS TO REASON
NOBODY WANTS A WAR
WE’RE SICK AND TIRED OF MISSLE TALK AND NUCLEAR CONTROL
WE’RE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY
THIS FIGHT WILL NEVER END
WE’RE GONNA DO WHAT POTUS SAYS
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
DRAIN THE SWAMP!
