Me And Crippled Soldiers
Now that it's alright to burn the tars and stripes
Guess nobody really needs old Uncle Sam
Might as well burn the bill of rights, as well
And let our country go straight to hell
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
Should they throw away their purple hearts and hide their uniforms
And be proud to hear Old Glory is on the ground?
Somebody said they'd take us without firing a shot
I don't know if they will or not
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
Has the Holocaust been so long?
Is Hitler really gone?
As we burn our only cause for Vietnam?
There's the mom who lost her son
Is this the freedom that we won?
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
I've been known to wave the flag before
And saddened when we went to war
Fighting for the symbol of our land
For all the wars we fought and won to keep Old Glory waving
Today, they ruled to burn Old Glory down
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
Guess nobody really needs old Uncle Sam
Might as well burn the bill of rights, as well
And let our country go straight to hell
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
Should they throw away their purple hearts and hide their uniforms
And be proud to hear Old Glory is on the ground?
Somebody said they'd take us without firing a shot
I don't know if they will or not
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
Has the Holocaust been so long?
Is Hitler really gone?
As we burn our only cause for Vietnam?
There's the mom who lost her son
Is this the freedom that we won?
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
I've been known to wave the flag before
And saddened when we went to war
Fighting for the symbol of our land
For all the wars we fought and won to keep Old Glory waving
Today, they ruled to burn Old Glory down
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
