On With The Song Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

This isn't for the ones who blindly follow 

Jingoistic bumper stickers telling you 

To love it or leave it, and you'd better love Jesus 

And get out of the way of the red, white and blue 

This isn't for the ones who buy their six packs 

At the 7-Eleven where the clerk makes change 

Whose accent makes clear he sure ain't from here 

They call him a camel jockey instead of his name 

No this is for the ones who stand their ground 

When the lines in the sand get deeper 

When the whole world seems to be upside down 

And the shots being taken get cheaper 

This isn't for the ones who would gladly swallow 

Everything their leader would have them know 

Bowing and kissing, while the truth goes missing 

Bring it on the crows, putting on his big show 

This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies 

Can't comfort the families, can't say when he's wrong 

Claiming I'm the decider, like some sort of messiah 

While another day passes and a hundred souls gone 

This is for the ones that I see above me 

Three little stars in a great big sky 

Light for the world and hope for the weary 

They try 

This isn't for the ones with their radio signal 

Calling for bonfires and boycotts they rave 

Exhorting their listeners to spit on the sinners 

While counting the bucks of advertising they'll save 

This isn't for you and you know who you are 

So do what you want 'cuz I know that you can 

But I've got to be true to myself and to you 

So on with the song, I don't give a damn
