'''"We Take Care of Our Own"''' is a single by rocker/liberal activist [[Bruce Springsteen]] off his 2012 album ''[[Wrecking Ball]]''. It is a liberal anthem championing government intervention because of an "uncharitable" America though Americans are among the most charitable people in the world.

The single leaked to the Internet on January 18, 2012 one day prior to its official release for download. It was released the next day, on January 19. It made its live debut on February 12, 2012 at the Grammy Awards. It was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Performance but lost presumably due to the aging rock star's irrelevance in the genre.

The music video features Springsteen with working class people wondering what the future holds. The lyrics are prominently featured on the screen to avoid a similar misconstruation as the song "[[Born in the USA]]" (a [[Vietnam War]] [[protest song]]) where people missed the message of the song because of a catchy beat and chorus. Note the chorus that could be possibly taken as uplifting:
