He said, "son,

Have you see the world?

Well, what would you say

If i said that you could?

Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."

I said, "that sounds pretty good."
Black leather boots

Spit-shined so bright

They cut off my hair but it looked alright

We marched and we sang

We all became friends

As we learned how to fight
A hero 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

Because it's 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 over 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 hero 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

Because it's 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 away
The shells jumped through the smoke

And into the sand

That the blood now had soaked

She collapsed with a flag in her hand

A flag white as snow
A hero of war

Is that what they see

Just medals and scars

So damn proud of me

And i brought home that flag

Now it gathers dust

But it's a 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?"
