Stars And Stripes |
| Welcoming with open arms and, with open hearts |
| In the end they found their arms in shackles |
| And their hearts torn out |
| This country named America is built on graves |
| Of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place |
| The word «America» means «freedom» — as in, «free to kill the free…» |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars and stripes for me, for me |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars and stripes for me, for me… For me! |
| It’s the same today as then, as U.S. tax dollars are spent |
| To rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. corporate interests |
| The third world is a modern day playground, for multinational companies |
| And the tax dollars we’re forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies |
| Their explanation… «it's national interest, national security…» |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| They stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| At Little Bighorn national cemetery, there’s a monument that reads: «to the soldiers killed in Montana while clearing |
| Hostile Indians away… ' |
| And there’s a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves |
| When they call on me to die for them I’ll say… «not me!» |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| They stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me… |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me… |
| They stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe… |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me… |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me |
| They stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe |
| Don’t fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me… me… me!!! |
