Oh oh, brother - man where are you
I am bucklin´ from the load
I haven´t lost my eye for color
But my heart can´t see the road
Oh oh, sister - come and catch me
´cause my legs their prime has past
I am breakin´ - from the sorrow
And my - faith is fadin´ fast
Mother, father help me
I´m your flesh and blood and bone
Don´t ya hear me, can´t ya see me
Am I doomed to live alone
Without warmth or love or honor
like a dog out on the street
Am I trash cause I can´t manage
Must I grovel at your feet?
I´m the boy who fought your battles
And I´m the man who won your wars
Is it over, have you used me
I´m no value anymore?
I´m your mothers, wives and daughters
I´m your fathers, husbands, sons...
I´m the life´s blood of this country
I´m the hopeful precious ones
Am I nothin´, am I no one
once a fabric - now a rag
We treat people like they´re nothin´
We´re not fit to fly
fit to fly
no,no,no - no,no,no
We´re not fit to fly - fit to fly a flag (no,no,no)
Join the army
See the world
The marine corps
Join the navy
We´re not fit to fly - fit to fly the flag
