He said, "[E]Son, Have you see the [gism]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 [H]good."
Black leather [E]boots spit-shined so [gism]bright, 
they cut off my [A]hair but it looked al[E]right.
We marched and we [A]sang we all became [E]friends, as we learned how to [H]fight.

A hero of [cism]war, yeah that's what I'll [A]be and when I come [E]home, 
they'll be damn proud of [H]me. I'll carry this [cism]flag to the grave if I [A]must,
because it's flag that I [E]love and a flag that I [H]trust.

I kicked in the [E]door, I yelled my comm[gism]ands.
The children, they [A]cried, but I got my [E]man.
We took him a[A]way a bag over his [E]face, from his family and his [H]friends.
They took off his [E]clothes, they pissed in his [gism]hands, 
I told them to [A]stop, but then I [E]joined in, 
we beat him with [A]guns and batons not just [E]once but again and [H]again.

She [E]walked through bullets and [gism]haze.
I asked her to [A]stop, I begged her to [E]stay,
but she pressed [A]on, So I lifted my [E]gun and I fired [H]away.
The [E]shells jumped through the [gism]smoke,
and into the [A]sand, that the blood now had [E]soaked.
She [A]collapsed with a flag in her [E]hand - a flag white as [H]snow.
