Freak Flag |
I grew up in the shadow of The Bomb |
Come of age during Viet Nam |
Many thousand gone — I never did know why |
Well look around — it’s so hard to see |
What’s happening to our big family |
I’m an American — I’m gonna let my freak flag fly — fly |
Well my dad preached a message of love |
I heard him say on the day he passed on above |
He said «Use what you got, son, to raise a hopeful cry» |
Dad, I heard what you had to say |
I try to hold to it every day |
I’m your boy — I’m gonna let my freak flag fly — fly — fly |
Flag of green, flag of brown |
Leaves in the sky, roots in the ground |
I’m singing and stomping by the dawns early light |
For every soul being beat down |
For every child who sees the light and turns around |
Come on now — let’s let that freak flag fly — fly — fly |
