He said son, have you seen the world?
What whould you say if I said that you could
Just carry this gun
You'll even get paid
I said "that sounds pretty good"
Black leather boots
Spit shined so bright
They cut of 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
'Cause it's a flag that i love
It's a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door
Yelled my commands
The children they cried
But we got our man
We took him away
With a bag on his head
From his family and his friends
They took of his clothes
Pissed in his hands
I asked 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
'Cause it's flag that love
It's 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
And 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 they see?
Just medals and scars
Sp damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
The only flag I trust
He said, Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say
If i said that you could?
I
