IN OUR OWN BACKYARD lyrics and music by
Scott Wullkotte

I love this country, you know I love the USA
It’s the land of the free, and the home of the brave
There’s lots of opportunity, if you work real hard
But we need to fix some problems in our own backyard

There’s people that our homeless and living on the street
There’s children in this country who don’t have food to eat
There’s people getting welfare, who have never worked real hard
Why cant we fix these problems in our own backyard

(chorus)
In our own backyard, we got some trouble
In our own backyard, we got some pain
Spend to much time, worried bout our neighbors
It’s time we fix the problems in our own backyard

The gas price keeps on rising, now milk has gone up too
There is no explanation, they do what they want to
We have to pay more tax’s so we can drive our cars
When will we fix the problems in our own backyard

I love this country, you know I love the USA
But the price that we our paying, is much too high today
There’s men and women dieing ,who are far away from home
We’ve got to fix these problems of our own

(chorus)
In our own backyard, we got some trouble
In our own backyard, we got some pain
Spend to much time, worried bout our neighbors
It’s time we fix the problems in our own backyard
We’ve got to fix these problems in our own backyard (Ooh’s)
