Up To Me Video (MV)

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 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 our 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
If it were up to me

The games they play with all of us
As our history turns to dust
Would all be over
Hang the Constitution back up
And fight for those who fought for us
I'd make "In God We Trust" more than words on the dollar

If it were up to me the churches would stay open
If it were up to me our 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 please

If it were up to me the churches would stay open
If it were up to me our 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
If it were up to me
