I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car |
|
Says United |
|
States Marines |
|
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me |
|
Does she think she knows what |
|
I stand for |
|
Or the things that |
|
I believeJust by looking at a sticker for the |
|
U.S. Marines |
|
On the bumper of my |
|
SUVSee, my brother |
|
Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now |
|
Our dad was in the |
|
Navy during |
|
VietnamDid his duty then he got out |
|
And my grandpa earned his purple heart |
|
On the beach of |
|
NormandyThat's why |
|
I've got a sticker for the |
|
U.S. Marines |
|
On the bumper of my |
|
SUVBut that doesn't mean that |
|
I want war |
|
I'm not Republican or |
|
DemocratBut |
|
I've gone all around this crazy world |
|
Just to try and better understand |
|
And yes, I do have questions |
|
I get to ask them because |
|
I'm freeThat's why |
|
I've got a sticker for the |
|
U.S. Marines |
|
On the bumper of my |
|
SUV'Cause |
|
I've been to |
|
Hiroshima and |
|
I've been to the |
|
DMZI've walked on the sand in |
|
BaghdadStill don't have all of the answers |
|
I needBut |
|
I guess I wanna know where she's been |
|
Before she judges and gestures to me' |
|
Cause she don't like my sticker for the |
|
U.S. Marines |
|
On the bumper of my |
|
SUVSo I hope that lady in her mini-van |
|
Turns on her radio and hears this from me |
|
As she picks up her kids from their private school |
|
And drives home safely on our city streets |
|
Or to the building where her church group meets |
|
Yeah, that's why |
|
I've got a sticker for the |
|
U.S. Marines |
|
On the bumper of my |
|
SUV |
