[00:05.83]He said, “Son,
[00:07.83]Have you see the world?
[00:10.86]Well, what would you say
[00:13.68]If I said that you could?
[00:17.00]Just carry this gun
[00:19.89]and you’ll even get paid.”
[00:22.83]I said, “That sounds pretty good.”
[00:28.17]
[00:29.62]Black leather boots
[00:32.70]Spit-shined so bright
[00:35.88]They cut off my hair but it looked alright
[00:42.09]We marched and we sang
[00:44.81]We all became friends
[00:47.94]As we learned how to fight
[00:51.44]
[00:54.53]A hero of war
[00:57.17]Yeah that’s what I’ll be
[01:00.38]And when I come home
[01:03.33]They’ll be damn proud of me
[01:06.74]I’ll carry this flag
[01:09.43]To the grave if I must
[01:12.79]Because it’s flag that I love
[01:15.81]And a flag that I trust
[01:19.70]I kicked in the door
[01:22.33]I yelled my commands
[01:25.39]The children, they cried
[01:28.54]But I got my man
[01:31.84]We took him away
[01:34.68]A beg over his face
[01:37.81]From his family and his friends
[01:42.90]
[01:44.37]They took off his clothes
[01:47.19]They pissed in his hands
[01:50.25]I told them to stop
[01:53.41]But then I joined in
[01:56.87]We beat him with guns
[01:59.61]And batons not just once
[02:02.70]But again and again
[02:06.70]
[02:09.09]A hero of war
[02:11.83]Yeah that’s what I’ll be
[02:15.16]And when I come home
[02:18.16]They’ll be damn proud of me
[02:21.47]I’ll carry this flag
[02:24.23]To the grave if I must
[02:27.54]Because it’s flag that I love
[02:30.57]And a flag that I trust
[02:36.97]
[02:42.00]She walked through bullets and haze
[02:46.51]I asked her to stop
[02:49.54]I begged her to stay
[02:52.59]But she pressed on
[02:55.65]So I lifted my gun
[02:58.64]And I fired away
[03:04.29]
[03:06.67]And The shells jumped through the smoke
[03:11.38]And into the sand
[03:14.13]That the blood now had soaked
[03:18.04]
[03:18.80]She collapsed with a flag in her hand
[03:23.67]A flag white as snow
[03:29.39]
[03:30.02]A hero of war
[03:32.65]Is that what they seen
[03:35.89]Just medals and scars
[03:39.06]So damn proud of me
[03:42.16]And I brought home that flag
[03:45.24]Now it gathers dust
[03:48.31]But it’s a flag that I love
[03:51.20]It’s the only flag I trust
[03:55.54]
[03:56.35]He said, “Son, have you seen the world?
[04:01.03]Well what would you say,
[04:04.26]if I said that you could?”
