Stars And Stripes歌词

ANTI-FLAG Stars And Stripes LYRICS

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
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 3rd 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..."
those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed
they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
at little big horn 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!"
those stars-and-stripes for me...
they stand for hate
for nothing i believe...
