[00:09.96]
[00:11.02]Well what would you say
[00:12.80]
[00:13.85]If I said that you could
[00:16.12]
[00:17.20]Just carry this gun
[00:19.08]
[00:20.16]And you'll even get paid ”
[00:22.94]I said “That sounds pretty good ”
[00:25.91]
[00:29.97]Black leather boots
[00:31.65]
[00:32.83]Spit-shined so bright
[00:35.15]
[00:36.03]They cut off my hair but it looked alright
[00:41.50]
[00:42.34]We marched and we sang
[00:44.01]
[00:45.10]We all became friends
[00:47.17]
[00:48.12]As we learned how to fight
[00:50.72]
[00:54.72]A hero of war
[00:56.40]
[00:57.65]Yeah that's what I'll be
[00:59.78]
[01:00.69]And when I come home
[01:02.83]
[01:03.51]They'll be damn proud of me
[01:05.96]
[01:06.94]I'll carry this flag
[01:08.93]
[01:10.07]To the grave if I must
[01:12.12]
[01:13.03]Because it's flag that I love
[01:15.20]
[01:16.15]And a flag that I trust
[01:18.41]
[01:19.69]I kicked in the door
[01:21.64]
[01:22.80]I yelled my commands
[01:24.66]
[01:25.91]The children they cried
[01:28.00]
[01:28.98]But I got my man
[01:31.57]
[01:32.38]We took him away
[01:33.90]
[01:34.89]A beg over his face
[01:36.94]
[01:37.97]From his family and his friends
[01:40.40]
[01:44.64]They took off his clothes
[01:46.52]
[01:47.40]They pissed in his hands
[01:49.66]
[01:50.57]I told them to stop
[01:52.66]
[01:53.85]But then I joined in
[01:56.32]
[01:57.04]We beat him with guns
[01:58.77]
[01:59.67]And batons not just once
[02:02.42]
[02:03.07]But again and again
[02:05.88]
[02:09.32]A hero of war
[02:11.17]
[02:12.40]Yeah that's what I'll be
[02:14.61]
[02:15.40]And when I come home
[02:17.74]
[02:18.32]They'll be damn proud of me
[02:20.71]
[02:21.62]I'll carry this flag
[02:23.71]
[02:24.78]To the grave if I must
[02:26.95]
[02:27.85]Because it's flag that I love
[02:30.05]
[02:30.95]And a flag that I trust
[02:37.15]
[02:42.20]She walked through bullets and haze
[02:46.00]
[02:46.91]I asked her to stop
[02:48.81]
[02:49.77]I begged her to stay
[02:52.02]
[02:53.25]But she pressed on
[02:54.90]
[02:55.78]So I lifted my gun
[02:58.28]
[02:59.07]And I fired away
[03:03.75]
[03:06.86]And The shells jumped through the smoke
[03:10.68]
[03:11.91]And into the sand
[03:13.62]
[03:14.70]That the blood now had soaked
[03:17.10]
[03:19.29]She collapsed with a flag in her hand
[03:23.22]
[03:24.28]A flag white as snow
[03:30.63]A hero of war
[03:32.27]
[03:33.62]Is that what they seen
[03:35.66]
[03:36.59]Just medals and scars
[03:38.72]
[03:39.56]So damn proud of me
[03:41.82]
[03:42.67]And I brought home that flag
[03:44.95]
[03:45.86]Now it gathers dust

[03:48.86]But it's a flag that I love
[03:51.14]
[03:52.08]It's the only flag I trust
[03:54.97]
[03:56.70]He said “Son have you seen the world
