Stick
the Fucking Flag up Your Goddam Ass
.
My father told
me "Son it's futile to resist.
You can topple
the ideology but not the armies they enlist."
I questioned the
intentions of the boy scouts chanting "WAR!"
"Well, that's
the sound of freedom, son", he said (free to say no more).
But wait a minute
"dad", did you actually say freedom?
Well, if you're
dumb enough to vote,
You're fucking
dumb enough to believe them.
Because if this
country is so goddamned free,
Then I can burn
your fucking flag wherever I damn well please.
And then I'm gonna
stick it up your fucking ass!
I carried their
anthem convinced it was mine.
Rhymeless, unreasoned
conjecture kept me in line.
But then I stood
back and wondered what the fuck they had done to me.
Made accomplice
to all that I promised I would never be.
You carry their
anthem convinced that it's yours.
Invitation to
honour.
Invitation to
war.
Bette Midler now
assumes sainthood.
Romanticize
murder for morale.
Tie a yellow ribbon
'round the old oak tree my friend,
And "Gee, Wally.
That's swell!"
Fuck the
troops to Hell
