Me And Crippled Soldiers - Merle Haggard

Now that it’s alright to burn the stars and stripes

Yes, nobody really needs old Uncle Sam

Might as well burn the bill of rights as well

And let our country go straight to hell

Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn

Should they throw away their purple hearts and hide their uniforms

And be proud to hear old glories on the ground

Somebody said, they’d take us without firing a shot

I don’t know if they will or not

But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn

Has the holocaust been so long?

Is Hitler really gone

As we burn our only cause for Vietnam?

There’s the mom who lost her son

Is this the freedom that we won?

For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn

I’ve been known to wave the flag before

And saddened when we went to war

Fighting for the symbol of our land

For all the wars we fought and won to keep old glory waving

Today, they ruled to burn old glory down

And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
