It's not my flag, that red white and blue

It doesn't stand for me and it doesn't stand for you

Whether you agree or not simply has no affect upon the truth

It's not my flag because it's not a flag of peace

And its stars are stained with blood

And its stripes are in retreat

Somehow, so many find this so comforting

It's not my flag, it never was to begin and I don't support the troops long as they keep murdering for these resource and ideology wars

That's not defense. It goes by another name, empire or terrorism, and war mongering

And in the end aren't they all the same?

See the stars 'n stripes waive your rights away, on Capitol Hill

Where the robbers stay

The builders no longer build

They just take away, on Capitol Hill where the robbers stay, where the criminals play

No more bargains, no more pleas, unless its peace your plans are simply conjecture. Hear us! Hear us! Until no more people bleed, I'll remain a conscientious objector! Only peace will sustain us! Our fates are in our hands. Do we save or do we suffer?
