| [00:05.83] |
He said, “Son, |
| [00:07.83] |
Have you see the world? |
| [00:10.86] |
Well, what would you say |
| [00:13.68] |
If I said that you could? |
| [00:17.00] |
Just carry this gun |
| [00:19.89] |
and you’ll even get paid.” |
| [00:22.83] |
I said, “That sounds pretty good.” |
| [00:28.17] |
|
| [00:29.62] |
Black leather boots |
| [00:32.70] |
Spit-shined so bright |
| [00:35.88] |
They cut off my hair but it looked alright |
| [00:42.09] |
We marched and we sang |
| [00:44.81] |
We all became friends |
| [00:47.94] |
As we learned how to fight |
| [00:51.44] |
|
| [00:54.53] |
A hero of war |
| [00:57.17] |
Yeah that’s what I’ll be |
| [01:00.38] |
And when I come home |
| [01:03.33] |
They’ll be damn proud of me |
| [01:06.74] |
I’ll carry this flag |
| [01:09.43] |
To the grave if I must |
| [01:12.79] |
Because it’s flag that I love |
| [01:15.81] |
And a flag that I trust |
| [01:19.70] |
I kicked in the door |
| [01:22.33] |
I yelled my commands |
| [01:25.39] |
The children, they cried |
| [01:28.54] |
But I got my man |
| [01:31.84] |
We took him away |
| [01:34.68] |
A beg over his face |
| [01:37.81] |
From his family and his friends |
| [01:42.90] |
|
| [01:44.37] |
They took off his clothes |
| [01:47.19] |
They pissed in his hands |
| [01:50.25] |
I told them to stop |
| [01:53.41] |
But then I joined in |
| [01:56.87] |
We beat him with guns |
| [01:59.61] |
And batons not just once |
| [02:02.70] |
But again and again |
| [02:06.70] |
|
| [02:09.09] |
A hero of war |
| [02:11.83] |
Yeah that’s what I’ll be |
| [02:15.16] |
And when I come home |
| [02:18.16] |
They’ll be damn proud of me |
| [02:21.47] |
I’ll carry this flag |
| [02:24.23] |
To the grave if I must |
| [02:27.54] |
Because it’s flag that I love |
| [02:30.57] |
And a flag that I trust |
| [02:36.97] |
|
| [02:42.00] |
She walked through bullets and haze |
| [02:46.51] |
I asked her to stop |
| [02:49.54] |
I begged her to stay |
| [02:52.59] |
But she pressed on |
| [02:55.65] |
So I lifted my gun |
| [02:58.64] |
And I fired away |
| [03:04.29] |
|
| [03:06.67] |
And The shells jumped through the smoke |
| [03:11.38] |
And into the sand |
| [03:14.13] |
That the blood now had soaked |
| [03:18.04] |
|
| [03:18.80] |
She collapsed with a flag in her hand |
| [03:23.67] |
A flag white as snow |
| [03:29.39] |
|
| [03:30.02] |
A hero of war |
| [03:32.65] |
Is that what they seen |
| [03:35.89] |
Just medals and scars |
| [03:39.06] |
So damn proud of me |
| [03:42.16] |
And I brought home that flag |
| [03:45.24] |
Now it gathers dust |
| [03:48.31] |
But it’s a flag that I love |
| [03:51.20] |
It’s the only flag I trust |
| [03:55.54] |
|
| [03:56.35] |
He said, “Son, have you seen the world? |
| [04:01.03] |
Well what would you say, |
| [04:04.26] |
if I said that you could?” |
