My father told me son, it's futile to resist,

You can topple ideology 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.)

But wait a minute dad, did you actually say freedom?

Well, if you're dumb enough to vote,

 You're fuckin dumb enough to believe 'em.

Cuz if this country is so goddam free.

Then I can burn your fucking flag wherever I damn well please,

* //*// 2X

 And I will stick the fucking flag up your ass

I carried their anthem, convinces it was mine.

Rhymeless, unreasoned conjecture kept me in line.

then I stood back and wondered what the fuck had they done to me.

Made accomplice to all that I'd promised I would never fucking be. Never be.

* //*// 3X

You carry their anthem convinces that it's yours.

Initiation to honor - invitation to war.

Bette midler now assumes sainthood.

 Romanticize murder for moral.

Tie a yellow ribbon round the oak tree my friend,

 And gee wally, that's swell!

Fuck the troops to hell!

Fuck the troops to hell!

Here's how to play the chords.
