SINGER: Propagandhi
SONG:Stick The Fucking Flag Up Your Goddam Ass You Sonofabitch
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 him. cuz if this country is so goddam free, then i can burn your fucking flag wherever i damn well please. i carried their anthem, convinces it was mine. rhymeless, unreasoned conjecture kept me in line. but 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. you carry their anthem convinces that it's yours. invitation 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!
