Now that it's alright to burn the stars and stripes
|
Yes, nobody really needs old Uncle Sam
|
Might as well burn the bill of rights as well
|
And let our country go straight to hell
|
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
|
|
Should they throw away their purple hearts and hide their uniforms
|
And be proud to hear old glories on the ground
|
Somebody said, they'd take us without firing a shot
|
I don't know if they will or not
|
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
|
|
Has the holocaust been so long? Is Hitler really gone
|
As we burn our only cause for Vietnam?
|
There's the mom who lost her son
|
Is this the freedom that we won?
|
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
|
|
I've been known to wave the flag before
|
And saddened when we went to war
|
Fighting for the symbol of our land
|
For all the wars we fought and won to keep old glory waving
|
Today, they ruled to burn old glory down
|
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
|
