I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car
Says United 
States Marines
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me
Does she think she knows what 
I stand for
Or the things that 
I believeJust by looking at a sticker for the 
U.S. Marines
On the bumper of my 
SUVSee, my brother 
Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now
Our dad was in the 
Navy during 
VietnamDid his duty then he got out
And my grandpa earned his purple heart
On the beach of 
NormandyThat's why 
I've got a sticker for the 
U.S. Marines
On the bumper of my 
SUVBut that doesn't mean that 
I want war
I'm not Republican or 
DemocratBut 
I've gone all around this crazy world
Just to try and better understand
And yes, I do have questions
I get to ask them because 
I'm freeThat's why 
I've got a sticker for the 
U.S. Marines
On the bumper of my 
SUV'Cause 
I've been to 
Hiroshima and 
I've been to the 
DMZI've walked on the sand in 
BaghdadStill don't have all of the answers 
I needBut 
I guess I wanna know where she's been
Before she judges and gestures to me'
Cause she don't like my sticker for the 
U.S. Marines
On the bumper of my 
SUVSo I hope that lady in her mini-van
Turns on her radio and hears this from me
As she picks up her kids from their private school
And drives home safely on our city streets
Or to the building where her church group meets
Yeah, that's why 
I've got a sticker for the 
U.S. Marines
On the bumper of my 
SUV
