Me And Crippled Soldiers Lyrics - 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
