ANTI-FLAG

ANTI-FLAG - STARS AND STRIPES lyrics

rate me

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, those stars-and-stripes for me, 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..."

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

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!"

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...

they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe...

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me... me... me!!!
