Welcoming with open arms and, with open hearts
In the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts
torn out

this country named "America", is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place
the word "America" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the

free..."

Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,

for me
Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,
for me... For me!


It's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are
spent

to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S.
(corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground, for multinational

companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these
heartless U.S. policies

their explanation... "it's national interest, national
security..."


Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,
for me
Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,

for me
They Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe


Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,
for me


At little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument
that reads:
"to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing hostile

indians away...'
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen
killers' graves

when they call on me to die for them I'll say... "not me!"



Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,
for me
Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,

for me
They Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe


Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,
for me


Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...

Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...


They Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I
believe...

Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...



Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,
for me
Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me,

for me
They Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe


Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
me... me!!!
