about

This song confuses a lot of people. It makes them think that I'm some anti-American hippy. Well I'm not. It just always seems like I'm always unsatisfied with the leadership this country has, and the blatant disregard for constitutional rights that they allow.

I wrote this song back in the days around when the Iraq war was just starting. When people were shrouded by blind patriotism, and Wal Martwas sold out of flags. It disgusted me.

It was originally a song that a punk band I was in called "O.T.F." played, but the only part I used from the original song was part of the chorus.

lyrics

The symbol's just a sign that America has died
along with the values once sworn
I just hope I survive through their deceit and their lies and their maddening lust for this war

This flag that you wave's just a symbol of hate
Each star a sign of a growing death rate
That flag that you wave's just a symbol of fear
and as it burns the end grows more near

Fuck that flag you salute
It's just a symbol that we pollute
Fuck that flag and your sovereign repression
your red, white, and bull-shit!

So please open your eyes to their bullshit and lies
that have blatantly been shoved in your face
this country's full of shit and it's ran by hypocrites
and that banner's a fucking disgrace

That flag that you wave is just a symbol of hate
each star a sign of a growing death rate
That flag that you wave's just a gross perversity
and as it burns I'll show it no pity

Fuck that flag you salute
It's just a symbol that we pollute
Fuck that flag and your sovereign repression
your red, white, and bull-shit!
