There is a peaceful solution.
It's called a peace revolution.
Now let's take back America.
There's a war and we're in it,
but I know we can win it.
So let's take back America.

It's a dream, so believe it.
Now get ready to receive it.
And let's take back America.

And when the war is over and we've won it
let's remember how we done it,
because we might have to do it again.

There is a peaceful solution.
It's called a peace revolution.
Now let's take back America.
There's a war and we're in it,
but I know we can win it.
Now let's take back America.

There was a peace resolution
and a peaceful revolution
and the peaceful solution saved America.
