He said, ``[E]Son
|
|
Have you see the [G#m]world?
|
|
Well, what would you [A]say
|
|
If I said that you [E]could?
|
|
Just carry this [A]gun
|
|
And you'll even get [E]paid''
|
|
I said, ``That sounds pretty [B]good''
|
|
|
|
Black leather boots
|
|
Spit-shined so bright
|
|
They cut off my hair
|
|
But it looked alright
|
|
We marched and we sang
|
|
We all became friends
|
|
As we learned how to fight
|
|
|
|
{start_of_chorus}
|
|
A hero of [C#m]war
|
|
Yeah that's what I'[A]ll be
|
|
And when I come [E]home
|
|
They'll be damn proud of [B]me
|
|
I'll carry this [C#m]flag
|
|
To the grave if I [A]must
|
|
Because it's flag that [E]I love
|
|
And a flag that I [B]trust

I kicked in the door
|
|
I yelled my commands
|
|
The children, they cried
|
|
But I got my man
|
|
We took him away
|
|
A bag over his face
|
|
From his family and his friends
|
|
|
|
They took off his clothes
|
|
They pissed in his hands
|
|
I told them to stop
|
|
But then I joined in
|
|
We beat him with guns
|
|
And batons not just once
|
|
But again and again
|
|
|
|
She walked
|
|
Through bullets and haze
|
|
I asked her to stop
|
|
I begged her to stay
|
|
But she pressed on
|
|
So I lifted my gun
|
|
And I fired away
|
|
|
|
The shells
|
|
Jumped through the smoke
|
|
And into the sand
|
|
That the blood now had soaked
|
|
She collapsed
|
|
With a flag in her hand
|
|
A flag white as snow
|
|
|
|
{start_of_chorus}
|
|
A hero of war
|
|
Is that what they see
|
|
Just medals and scars
|
|
So damn proud of me
|
|
And I brought home that flag
|
|
Now it gathers dust
|
|
But it's a flag that I love
|
|
It's the only flag I trust
|
|

He said, ``Son
|
|
Have you seen the world?
|
|
Well what would you say
|
|
If I said that you could?''
