stars and stripes forever
thats what it used to be.
but now our country's gone to hell
and its all so strange to me.
soldiers dying every day
their lives put on the line
every day i sulk and mourn
even though i still have mine.
i remember back before
when everyone was proud
to be a true american
and used to sing aloud
"That i'm proud to be an american
where at least i know i'm free.
and i woon't forget the men who died
and gave that right to me"
Its not so much the case now, huh?
we're fighting a losing war.
I don't want to know for fact
who has the winning score.
We don't hear anything much about
the iraqiswho have died.
when I found out my best friend's dad had gone,
i looked up and said "No, God, why?"
How many of them have actually died
the U.S. may never know.
But all I can do for now is support or
sit here and wallow.
