[Verse 1] Now that it's alright to burn the stars and stripes Yes, nobody really needs old Uncle Sam Might as well burn the bill of rights as well And let our country go straight to hell
[Chorus] Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
[Verse 2] Should they throw away their purple hearts and hide their uniforms And be proud to hear old glories on the ground Somebody said, they'd take us without firing a shot I don't know if they will or not
[Chorus] But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
[Verse 3] Has the holocaust been so long? Is Hitler really gone As we burn our only cause for Vietnam? There's the mom who lost her son Is this the freedom that we won?
[Chorus] For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
[Verse 4] I've been known to wave the flag before And saddened when we went to war Fighting for the symbol of our land For all the wars we fought and won to keep old glory waving Today, they ruled to burn old glory down
[Outro] And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
