Lyrics
When you burnThe Stars and StripesYou burn all that’s rightAnd all who diedTo keep us free
Take your causeOr what it may beBut the flagIs what keeps you free
Our brothers, fathersFought for our freedomMy blood boilsWhen they burnOld Glory
You burn our flagYou burn meThere’s no excuseWhen you walk on allWho keep us free
You burn our flagYou burn meOld Glory still wavesFor you and me
Free speechFreedomSome too dumbTo understand
The common goodFor all that is rightPut your angerIn the right place
Before a patriotPuts you in your placeThink of those who diedTo keep us free
You burn our flagYou burn meThere’s no excuseWhen you walk on allWho keep us free
You burn our flagYou burn meOld Glory still wavesFor you and me
God blessedAmericaHe has blessed me
All us AmericansAre still free
So please don’t burnOld Glory
So when you kneelHope it’s in prayer
The time is nowTo stand
To protectOur freedom
You burn our flagYou burn meThere’s no excuseWhen you walk on allWho keep us free
You burn our flagYou burn meThink of those who diedTo keep us free
Free speechFreedom
The Stars and StripesOld Glory
The time is nowTo stand
You burn our flag…You burn me.
