I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car
|
Says United States Marines
|
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me
|
Does she think she knows what I stand for
|
Or the things that I believe
|
Just by looking at a sticker for the U.S. Marines
|
On the bumper of my SUV
|
|
See, my brother Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now
|
Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam
|
Did his duty then he got out
|
And my grandpa earned his purple heart
|
On the beach of Normandy
|
That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
|
On the bumper of my SUV
|
|
But that doesn't mean that I want war
|
I'm not Republican or Democrat
|
But I've gone all around this crazy world
|
Just to try and better understand
|
Yes, I do have questions
|
I get to ask them because I'm free
|
That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
|
On the bumper of my SUV
|
|
'Cause I've been to Hiroshima
|
And I've been to the DMZ
|
I've walked on the sand in Baghdad
|
Still don't have all of the answers I need
|
But I guess I wanna know where she's been
|
Before she judges and gestures to me
|
'Cause she don't like my sticker for the U.S. Marines
|
On the bumper of my SUV
|
|
So I hope that lady in her mini-van
|
Turns on her radio and hears this from me
|
As she picks up her kids from their private school
|
And drives home safely on our city streets
|
Or to the building where her church group meets
|
Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
|
On the bumper of my SUV
|
