i took a flag to a pawn shop
for a broken guitar

i took a flag to a pawn shop

how much is that guitar

i took a flag to a pawn shop

i got me that guitar

what's a flag in a pawn shop to me?i saw a man on the tv
in a mask with a gun

a man on the tv

he had a ten-year old son

i saw a man on the tv

his son had a gun

he says that he's coming for mei never loved the soldier until there was a war
or thought about tomorrow
'til my baby hit the floor

i only talk to god when somebody's about to die

i never cherished freedomfreedom never cries.i wrote a song for a dead man
to settle my soul

a song for a dead man
now i'll never grow old

i wrote a song for a dead man

now i'm out in the cold

what's a song to a dead man to me?i never loved the soldier until there was a war

or thought about tomorrow

'til my baby hit the floor
i only talk to god when somebody's about to die

i never cherished freedomfreedom never cries...you can cry for her
die for her

lay down your life for her

kiss and wave goodbye to her

anything at allyou can cry for her
die for her

make up your mind to her
anything at allthere's a baby on the doorstep

wailing away
there's a baby on the doorstep
longing for the day
there's a baby on the doorstep
who'd give his life to take
a flag to a pawn shop
a flag to a pawn shopmay he forget why he is crying some day
