Now that it's all right
To burn the stars and stripes
Guess no--body really needs old Uncle Sam
Might as well burn the Bill Of Rights, as well
And let our country go straight to hell
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
Should they throw away their Purple Hearts
And hide their uniforms
And be proud to hear Old Glory's on the ground
Somebody said they'd take us without firing a shot
I don't know if they will or not
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn //// ////

Has the Holocaust been so long
Is Hitler really gone
As we burn our only cause, for Viet--nam
There's the mom who lost a son
Is this the freedom that we won
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
I've been known to wave the flag before
And saddened when we went to war
Fighting for the symbol of our land
For all the wars we fought and won
To keep Old Glory waving
Today, they ruled to burn Old Glory down
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn / / /
