We'll Buy a Flag

WE'LL BUY A FLAG
(Robert Morgan Fisher/Extended Family Music-BMI)

The flag wavers, they all came to town
The day the Twin Towers crumbled to the ground
Like a comfort woman in the Second World War
Old Glory was pimped out into some kinda two-bit ****
Offering a discount rate in some alley off the boulevard
We were strongly encouraged to display her in our front yard

(CHORUS)
But we'll buy a flag
We'll buy a flag
We'll buy a flag when we get our country back

Then there came the stickers on the cars
The way those rebels like to wave the stars and bars
They had cute slogans, like: These colors do not run ...
But what they really wanted was our daughters and our sons
To plant that flag in some foreign glory hole
So they could justify the elections that they stole

(CHORUS)

This is not a snarky snivel or a gripe
Swear to God, I dearly love those stars and stripes
But nowadays you know it isn't very often
You see those flag wavers taking time to cover coffins
Cause they don't like it when you confuse them with the facts
They just hide behind their own little Patriot Act

(CHORUS)

The other day, went grocery shopping with my boys
There was a kiosk, selling flags next to the toys
They waved it high and I felt perplexed and proud
When I explained to them that we just weren't allowed
I said the old red white and blue had been disgraced
But God willing things will change and one of these days ...

But we'll buy a flag (and sew it on our backpack)
We'll buy a flag (and walk through Europe)
We'll buy a flag when we get our country back
But we'll buy a flag (it's my country too)
We'll buy a flag
We'll buy a flag when we get our country back
But we'll buy a flag
We'll buy a flag
We'll buy a flag when we get our country back
