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
