Stars and stripes keep you warm at night
Keep those evil empires from your door
Union Jack swept across your back
It's lost some of the strength it had before
Families of your men can't be ignored

Land of greed becoming so obscene
Chance to have a history to tell
Fairytale  a nation up for sale
Selling San Francisco  oh  so well
Put your bullets down
You may as well
The ground on which you stand
Not owned by any man
Oh  this fragile peace
So close  your weary eyes
That old dramatic prize
It never can be reached  it never can be
Oh  tell me that you love me

The stars and stripes
Oh  keep you warm at night
Keep those evil empires from your door
Fairytale  a nation up for sale
Families of your men can't be ignored
Put your bullets down  now I implore
The ground on which you stand
Not owned by any man
Oh  this fragile peace
So close  your weary eyes
That old dramatic prize
Never can be reached
It never can be reached
It never can be reached

Can be reached

Stars and stripes
