I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America I’ll stand and place my hand upon my heart Every time her anthem plays When I see somebody on TV Take their stand on bended knee Whether it’s on astroturf or gra** I think of those whose freedom was not free And I say, “Take a knee, my a**!” I’ll stand up for the flag Take off my hat for Old Glory Thank God I live in the home of the brave And the land of the free I’ll honor the ones who gave it all So we’re all free to go play ball If only for their sake I won’t take a knee From Valley Forge to Vietnam 9/11 to Afghanistan That star-spangled banner does yet wave I won’t forget I owe a debt of gratitude I never can repay Arm and arm and side by side American heroes fought and died Is showing some respect too much to ask? I speak for those whose freedom was not free And I say, “Take a knee, my a**!” I’ll stand up for the flag Take off my hat for Old Glory Thank God I live in the home of the brave And the land of the free I’ll honor the ones who gave it all So we’re all free to go play ball If only for their sake I won’t take a knee O say can you see? If only for their sake I won’t take a knee
