He said, 'Son, have you seen the world
Well, what would you say
If I said that you could?
Just carry this gun
You'll e-ven get paid.'
I said, 'That sounds pretty good.'
Black leather boots spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looks alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight
A he-ro of war yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Cause it's the flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man we took him away
A bag o-ver his face
From his family and his friends
They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop but then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again
A he-ro of war yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Cause it's the flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on so I lifted my gun
And I fired a - way
And the shells jumped through the smoke
And in-to the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with the flag in her hand
A flag white as snow
A he-ro of war is that what they see
Just medals and scars so damn proud of me
And I brought home the flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's the flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust
He said, 'Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that
you could?'
