There's a rising in our nation It is sensed both far and wide It's a movement based on common sense And deep and personal pride. In cities, town and villages As families faced what's real They make the tough decisions To make family finance heal. They cut back here and cut back there. They do things they never tried To balance personal family books. It's common sense and pride. And is it any wonder As they struggle to do right That they're appalled at Washington With no discipline in sight. There is a rising in our nation And the reason's very clear There's a discontent with Washington That's fed people's fear. And politicians wonder Why we don't understand They know what's best for all of us Across this mighty land. But we still have our common sense We know it is true fact You cannot spend and grow the debt With no thought to pay it back. Nor will the people silent stand As politicians threat To shove the country further left And magnify the debt.
