E
Now that it’s all right
To burn the stars and stripes
A E
Guess nobody really needs old Uncle Sam
B7
Might as well burn the Bill Of Rights, as well
And let our country go straight to hell
E B7 E
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
A
Should they throw away their Purple Hearts
And hide their uniforms
E
And be proud to hear Old Glory’s on the ground
Somebody said they’d take us without firing a shot
A E
I don’t know if they will or not
B7 E
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
Solo
E
Has the Holocaust been so long
Is Hitler really gone
A E
As we burn our only cause, for Vietnam
B7
There’s the mom who lost a son
Is this the freedom that we won
E B7 E
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
A
I’ve been known to wave the flag before
And saddened when we went to war
E
Fighting for the symbol of our land
For all the wars we fought and won
A E
To keep Old Glory waving
B7 E
Today, they ruled to burn Old Glory down
B7 E
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
