Ian Thompsen - My Flag lyrics

[Verse 1] Heal the wounds of terror With bandages of red, white, and blue All we need is a dose of pride To see our nation through [Chorus] My flag is a red rag My flag is a red rag My flag is a red rag My flag is a red rag Go! [Verse 2] So let's go and fight the oil war And let's go and bury our dead Let's bury them in shrouds Of blue and white and red Are you ready to bleed For the colors that won't run? Are you ready to show the world Imperialism can be fun? [Chorus] My flag! My flag is a red rag It used to be a white flag Used to bandage the wounds Of our fallen loved ones My flag! My flag is a red rag It used to be a white flag It's a flag I hope that we can use [Verse 3] We see the face of oppression In the green, green eyes Of the girl at the refugee camp But do we ever stop to wonder What those green eyes see When they're looking back Are we really so blind That all that we can see Is a "Land of the Brave" And a "Home of the Free"? [Chorus] My flag! My flag is a red rag It used to be a white flag Used to bandage the wounds Of our fallen loved ones My flag! My flag is a red rag It used to be a white flag It's a flag that I will salute Ha! [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] Two thousand, nine-hundred, seventy-seven That can't be replaced by all the flags in heaven One human life can't be replaced By a million flags Their blood is on the hands of a foreign power Their blood is on the hands of our foreign policy Their blood is soaked in the colors of my flag! Of my flag Of my flag [Outro] My flag is a red rag My flag was a white flag My flag is a red rag My flag was a white flag My flag, my flag, my flag My flag, my flag My flag is a red rag My flag was a white flag My flag is a red rag My flag was a white flag My flag, my flag, my flag My flag, my flag It's a flag I hope that we can use
