\begin{verse}
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''
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{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
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{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
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
He said, ``Son
Have you seen the world?
Well what would you say
If I said that you could?''
\end{verse}
