David Bazan - American Flags lyrics

Though reticent to represent They waive as their Beloved republic bleeds The victim of insatiable greed Criminal acts Dressed up in the flag So no one can disagree Then went crack the camel's back It started out in front of the capital A hundred coming down from their flag poles It'd gotten so bad Even blue white and red Refused to take it anymore American flags Are hunting the fortunate sons To swallow them up And bury them deep into the ground Present tense the president Is calling for diplomacy or a truce A dozen more are filling the room Now down on his knees "Lord they're coming for me! For doing what you told me to" American Flags
