He said, “Son, Have you see the world?
Well, what would you say If I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you’ll even get paid.

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends , As we learned how to fight

A hero of war Yeah that’s what I’ll be
And when I come home
They’ll be damn proud of me
I’ll carry this flag To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door I yelled my commands
the children, they cried, But I got my man
We took him away A bag over his face
From his family and his friends
They took off his clothes They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop, But then I joined in
We beat him with guns And batons not just once But again and again

A hero of war Yeah that’s what I’ll be
And when I come home
They’ll be damn proud of me
I’ll carry this flag To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun And I fired away
The shells jumped through the smoke And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow
 
A hero of war Is that what the see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it’s a flag that I love It’s the only flag I trust
