The Halo Benders - Bombshelter Pt. 2 lyrics

You know there in Washington They got a monument covered with names Names of folks they say gave their lives for their country And we oughta honor them... The way I see it They were just doing what they were told Now, who I'd like to bestow my gratitude upon Is them free-thinking folks of independent mind I'd like to say thank-you (And it's strange...) To all of your Vietnam era draft-dodgers (But it made me happy...) And thank-you to all of you Gulf War military deserters (When I heard...) And I just want to give a big thanks to all of those Americans out there (We won the war...) Who put their freedom on the line As conscientous objectors and military resistors All you youngsters out there All you young men ages 18 to 22 You're probably wondering what you can do To follow in the footsteps of the American way And a**ert yourselves as mature individuals Who can decide your own future I'm not going to suggest you shouldn't register for the draft That wouldn't be legal But why not take a cue from my buddy Sam And register 10 times... 50 times... 100 times... There ain't law against it Ain't no law against a woman 18 to 22 registering 50 or 60 times (And it's strange but it made me happy...) Or a man, or a woman 14 or 40 Registering for the draft 150 times (When I heard...) 500 times... (We won the war...) Just let them know what's on your mind About all the bugaboo Concerning folks burning the flag I'd always learned that burning was The proper, respectful way to dispose of the flag When it's become obsolete and worn out it's usefulness Hell, being an American is all about getting things off your chest And saying your peace A visual aid can come in mighty handy for getting your point across So don't be using up all your matches and lighters Wavin 'em at those big concerts Save 'em for the streets Where they can express your true feelings And those of our founding fathers God Bless all you flag burning patriots Exercising your rights as Americans
