96 :)

He said, "Son, Have you seen the world?

Well, what would you say If I said that you could?

Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid"

I said, "That sounds pretty good"

Black leather boots Spit-shined so bright

They cut off my hair but it looked alright

We marched and we sang We all became friends

As we learned how to fight

A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must

Because it's flag that I love And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door I yelled my commands

The children, they cried But I got my man

We took him away A bag over his face

From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes They pissed in his hands

I told them to stop But then I joined in

We beat him with guns

And batons not just once But again and again

A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must

Because it's flag that I love And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze

I asked her to stop I begged her to stay

But she pressed on So I lifted my gun And I fired away

And the shells jumped through the smoke

And into the sand That the blood now had soaked

She collapsed with a flag in her hand

A flag white as snow

A hero of war Is that what they see

Just medals and scars So damn proud of me

And I brought home that flag Now it gathers dust

But it's a flag that I love It's the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world"?

"Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
