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