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 believe |
|
Just by looking at a sticker for the U.S. Marines |
|
On the bumper of my SUV |
|
See, my brother Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now |
|
Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam |
|
Did his duty then he got out |
|
And my grandpa earned his purple heart |
|
On the beach of Normandy |
|
That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines |
|
On the bumper of my SUV |
|
But that doesn't mean that I want war |
|
I'm not Republican or Democrat |
|
But 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 free |
|
That'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 DMZ |
|
I've walked on the sand in Baghdad |
|
Still don't have all of the answers I need |
|
But 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 SUV |
|
So 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 |
