lyrics

God Hates Flags

It's no disrespect
It's a simple disconnect
It's devotion masquerading for idolatry
Sanctifying pastimes
Spangled Xs, thin blue lines
They're deified to obfuscate
Our ugly history

This hand won't be forced over my heart
These lips won't be coerced to take part
In glorifying fabric -- to recite or sing in chorus
This hand will not be forced

It's no disrespect
It's denial of perfection
Etched into us from our youth
And make to make us yield
While the silent, deadly, mighty wait
Using anthems as their bait
To sedate us further
Someday everyone will kneel

This hand won't be forced over my chest
At my side it's clenched tightly in protest
Archaic is the mandate and explicit my retort
This hand will not be forced

Behold our new religion
The worshipping of linen
Adoration of a rag
How would the maker feel?
I'd wager if he's real
That he probably hates flags
He probably hates flags

This hand won't be forced over my heart
These lips won't be coerced to take part
Archaic is the mandate and explicit my retort
This hand will not be forced
