[00:05.83]	He said, “Son,
[00:07.83]	Have you see the world?
[00:10.86]	Well, what would you say
[00:13.68]	If I said that you could?
[00:17.00]	Just carry this gun
[00:19.89]	and you’ll even get paid.”
[00:22.83]	I said, “That sounds pretty good.”
[00:28.17]
[00:29.62]	Black leather boots
[00:32.70]	Spit-shined so bright
[00:35.88]	They cut off my hair but it looked alright
[00:42.09]	We marched and we sang
[00:44.81]	We all became friends
[00:47.94]	As we learned how to fight
[00:51.44]
[00:54.53]	A hero of war
[00:57.17]	Yeah that’s what I’ll be
[01:00.38]	And when I come home
[01:03.33]	They’ll be damn proud of me
[01:06.74]	I’ll carry this flag
[01:09.43]	To the grave if I must
[01:12.79]	Because it’s flag that I love
[01:15.81]	And a flag that I trust
[01:19.70]	I kicked in the door
[01:22.33]	I yelled my commands
[01:25.39]	The children, they cried
[01:28.54]	But I got my man
[01:31.84]	We took him away
[01:34.68]	A beg over his face
[01:37.81]	From his family and his friends
[01:42.90]
[01:44.37]	They took off his clothes
[01:47.19]	They pissed in his hands
[01:50.25]	I told them to stop
[01:53.41]	But then I joined in
[01:56.87]	We beat him with guns
[01:59.61]	And batons not just once
[02:02.70]	But again and again
[02:06.70]
[02:09.09]	A hero of war
[02:11.83]	Yeah that’s what I’ll be
[02:15.16]	And when I come home
[02:18.16]	They’ll be damn proud of me
[02:21.47]	I’ll carry this flag
[02:24.23]	To the grave if I must
[02:27.54]	Because it’s flag that I love
[02:30.57]	And a flag that I trust
[02:36.97]
[02:42.00]	She walked through bullets and haze
[02:46.51]	I asked her to stop
[02:49.54]	I begged her to stay
[02:52.59]	But she pressed on
[02:55.65]	So I lifted my gun
[02:58.64]	And I fired away
[03:04.29]
[03:06.67]	And The shells jumped through the smoke
[03:11.38]	And into the sand
[03:14.13]	That the blood now had soaked
[03:18.04]
[03:18.80]	She collapsed with a flag in her hand
[03:23.67]	A flag white as snow
[03:29.39]
[03:30.02]	A hero of war
[03:32.65]	Is that what they seen
[03:35.89]	Just medals and scars
[03:39.06]	So damn proud of me
[03:42.16]	And I brought home that flag
[03:45.24]	Now it gathers dust
[03:48.31]	But it’s a flag that I love
[03:51.20]	It’s the only flag I trust
[03:55.54]
