Stick The Fucking Flag Up Your Goddam Ass, You Sonofabitch

My father told me: Son, it's futile to resist

You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist

I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting war

Well that's the sound of freedom, son; he said

(Free to say no more)

But wait a minute dad, did you actually say freedom?

Well, if you're dumb enough to vote

You're fuckin dumb enough to believe him

Cuz if this country is so goddam free

Then I can burn your fucking flag wherever I damn well please

I carried their anthem, convinces it was mine

Rhymeless, unreasoned conjecture kept me in line

But then I stood back and wondered what the fuck had they done to me

Made accomplice to all that I'd promised I would never fucking be

Never be

You carry their anthem convinces that it's yours

Invitation to honor. Invitation to war

Bette Midler now assumes sainthood

Romanticize murder for moral

Tie a yellow ribbon round the oak tree my friend

And: Gee Wally, that's swell!

Fuck the troops to hell!
