Stick the f*cking Flag Up Your Goddamn Ass, You Sonofab*tch lyrics

[Verse 1]
My father told me "Son, it's futile to resist
You can topple ideologies 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"

[Bridge]
But wait a minute, Dad
Did you actually say freedom?
Well, if you're dumb enough to vote
You're f*cking dumb enough to believe 'em
'Cause if this country is so goddamn free
Then I can burn your f*cking flag wherever I damn well please

And then I'm gonna stick it up your f*cking ass!

[Verse 2]
I carried their anthem, convinced it was mine
Rhyme-less, unreasoned conjecture kept me in line
But then I stood back and wondered
What the f*ck had they done to me?
Made accomplice to all that I'd promised
I would never f*cking be, never be

[Verse 3]
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 oak tree, my friend"
And "Gee Wally, that's swell."
f*ck the troops to hell
[Refrain]
f*ck the troops to hell
