The Flag Desecration Rag
They tried to pass an amendment in the U.S. CongressSeems these thugs have some grievance to redressThey said we all must pledge allegiance, 'cause that is what they needWe may not desecrate their symbol of hypocrisy and greedBut the flag is just a ragThe flag is just a ragJust a worn-out, tired, dirty, blood-soaked ragPledge allegiance to the symbol, well how about the deedAllegiance to democracy or blind authorityIt's a flag of war from L.A. to VietnamIt desecrates itself each time the Air Force drops a bombBut the flag is just a ragThe flag is just a ragJust a worn-out, tired, dirty, blood-soaked ragLike they say in Mexico, "Yankee Go Home"Uncle Sam and his club thinks the world's there to roamAnd to make the point well they do the traditional thingLight a match and let freedom ringBut the flag is just a ragThe flag is just a ragJust a worn-out, tired, dirty, blood-soaked ragLetras de cancionesSo burn it, stomp it, tear it up or at least hang it upside downTie it to your foot and drag it on the groundLet everybody know how many lives are gone'Cause of idiots who said, "My country right or wrong"But the flag is just a ragThe flag is just a ragJust a worn-out, tired, dirty, blood-soaked rag
