E
Now that it’s all right

To burn the stars and stripes 
        A                            E
Guess nobody really needs old Uncle Sam 
              B7
Might as well burn the Bill Of Rights, as well
 
And let our country go straight to hell 
     E                B7              E
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn 


              A
Should they throw away their Purple Hearts 

And hide their uniforms
         E
And be proud to hear Old Glory’s on the ground 

Somebody said they’d take us without firing a shot 
   A                          E
I don’t know if they will or not 
                            B7             E
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn


Solo


E
Has the Holocaust been so long 

Is Hitler really gone 
       A                           E
As we burn our only cause, for Vietnam 
            B7
There’s the mom who lost a son
 
Is this the freedom that we won 
         E                B7              E
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn 


            A
I’ve been known to wave the flag before
 
And saddened when we went to war 
E
Fighting for the symbol of our land
 
For all the wars we fought and won 
    A               E
To keep Old Glory waving 
                      B7             E
Today, they ruled to burn Old Glory down 
                          B7               E
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
