Stick The Fucking Flag Up Your Goddam Ass, You Sonofabitch Lyrics - How To Clean Everything - Propagandhi

My father told me "son, it's futile to resist, 

You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist." 

I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting war. 

"Well that's the sound of freedom, son" he said. 

(Free to say no more.) 

But wait a minute dad, did you actually say freedom? 

Well, if you're dumb enough to vote, 

You're fuckin dumb enough to believe him. 

'cause if this country is so goddam free, 

Then I can burn your fucking flag wherever I damn well please. 

I carried their anthem, convinces it was mine. 

Rhymeless, unreasoned conjecture kept me in line. 

But then I stood back and wondered what the fuck had they done to me. 

Made accomplice to all that I'd promised I would never fucking be. 

Never be. 

You carry their anthem convinces that it's yours. 

Invitation to honor. Invitation to war. 

Bette Midler now assumes sainthood. 

Romanticize murder for moral. 

Tie a yellow ribbon round the oak tree my friend, 

And "Gee Wally, that's swell!" 

Fuck the troops to hell!
