Stars And Stripes

The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night
Won't keep those evil empires from your door
The union jack strapped across your back
Has lost some of the strength it had before
The families of your men can't be ignored

This land of green becoming so obscene
A chance to have a history to tell
A fairy tale nation up for sale
They sell in San Francisco oh so well
Put your bullets down you may as well

The ground on which you stand
Not owned by any man
Oh this fragile peace
So close your weary eyes
That old romantic prize
It never can be reached
It never can be
Oh tell me that you love me

The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night
Won't keep those evil empires from your door
A fairytale nation up for sale
The families of your men can't be ignored
Put your bullets down now I implore

The ground on which you stand
Not owned by any man
Oh this fragile peace
So close your weary eyes
That old romantic prize
It never can be reached
It never can be reached
It never can be reached

It can't be reached
The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night
Won't keep those evil empires from your door
