welcoming with open arms and with open hearts
in the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out
this country named "america" is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before genocide took place
the word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..."
chorus:
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me
it's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground for multinational companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies
their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..."
at little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads:
"to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing hostile indians away...'
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves
when they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!"
in the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out
this country named "america" is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before genocide took place
the word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..."
chorus:
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me
it's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground for multinational companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies
their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..."
at little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads:
"to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing hostile indians away...'
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves
when they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!"

Anyone that takes these fools seriously is a moron.
I hear a new Anti-Flag song is coming out. It's called, "America sucks so bad that we're still living here".
BirdmanVA.
You are the prime example of a person who should not even bother posting. Your truly are on the intelligence level of a pen cap.
No Genocide? Please, what do you think the murder of thousands upon thousands of people is? The fact that we have land set aside specifically for them, and the fact that they have more health benifits than most U.S citizens, for free mind you, kinda shows that we are trying to make up for some things.
And not sending troops to other countries to protect personal interests? Have you heard of the Monroe Doctrine, and the Roosevelt Corollary? Have you not heard of Bigstick, Dollar, and Moral Diplomacy? What about the School of Americas? Dear god, I hoped that one would know a little more about their history before they spoke up and made an idiot out of themself.
I swear... You need to retake your highschool history courses. Your trite comments signify to me one who was homeschooled by a pack of wild ferrits.
Do you really have to have proof shown to you to know that the "settlers" tried to wipe out the Native Americans. I think the word "reservation" and the fact that there are not that many elft in the country makes it pretty obvious. Or at least to anyone with half a brain in their skull.
first of all
i think i would like to see some evidence of genocide on the native americans. I understand they were prest from their land, and contracted diseases and illness from being in contact with white people, but to say that we carried out genocide on them. When i see that im thinking genocide like the balkans, if im wrong with the whole mass grave thing, seeing that the nazis did the same thing, please tell me.
and who ever the fuck said politicians send money and troops to another country to protect their own financial assests is a fucking moron. United states military bases all over the world are they for foreign relations pressence. AND if everyone could take care off their own fucking country and imigrants aka mouslims rioting in france and europe and middle east, we could take care of our on country. Until then, we get to PLAY WORLD BABY SITTER.
dont get me wrong i love anti flag and im a conservative, but there is some pretty fucked up shit on this page

I love using that one. This one kid at school got pissed at me and told me not to talk smack about George Bush and I used that excuse. That shut him up. Haha.
Well, this is another great song from Anti-Flag! Sk8master, I thought of that before as well! Seeing Anti-Flag and Bill O'Reilly arguing about the government would be awesome! I would love to see that O'Reilly guy shut up for once. That guy pisses me off.
