It's not my flag, that red white and blue
It doesn't stand for me and it doesn't stand for you
Whether you agree or not simply has no affect upon the truth
It's not my flag because it's not a flag of peace
And its stars are stained with blood
And its stripes are in retreat
Somehow, so many find this so comforting
It's not my flag, it never was to begin and I don't support the troops long as they keep murdering for these resource and ideology wars
That's not defense. It goes by another name, empire or terrorism, and war mongering
And in the end aren't they all the same?
See the stars 'n stripes waive your rights away, on Capitol Hill
Where the robbers stay
The builders no longer build
They just take away, on Capitol Hill where the robbers stay, where the criminals play
No more bargains, no more pleas, unless its peace your plans are simply conjecture. Hear us! Hear us! Until no more people bleed, I'll remain a conscientious objector! Only peace will sustain us! Our fates are in our hands. Do we save or do we suffer?
