Words and Music by RAW Boswin
If I were to tell you something, I haven’t till today
I would say that I’m a different person than the one they sent away
I have seen fashion and fame, disappear to be discovered again
I have seen ordinary days unfold, and towers fall and planes explode
So I became a soldier, 09-2k1
And then they sent me over, oh Mama the things we’ve done
I have seen pleasure in pain,
From either side of this war machine
I’ve seen the horror in a mother’s eyes,
When her baby falls and angels rise…
Under the flag, we got here, Under the flag, we fought here,
Under the flag, I’m not sure, I wanna go home.
Under the sun, we let fly, Bullets and prayers, that God won’t buy
Underneath the star spangled banner,
Under the Rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Mama, can I tell you something? Mama, can I confess?
Even though I volunteered, I didn’t sign up for this!
I have felt triumph and shame,
To get these oilfields running again
So Halliburton and Enron,
Could keep their strength to carry on…
Under the flag, we got here, Under the flag, we fought here,
Under the flag, I’m not sure, I wanna go home.
Under the sun, we let fly, Bullets and tears, that God won’t dry,
Underneath the star spangled banner,
Under the Rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air
And we all stand together, We’re brothers to the bone,
One way or the other, Brothers we’ll get home…
Under the flag, we got here, Under the flag, we fought here,
Under the flag, I’m not sure, I wanna go home.
Under the sun, we let fly, Bullets and prayers, that God knows why
Underneath the star spangled banner,
Under the Rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, under the flag…
