If you’ve come here looking for trouble

We’ll you’ve come to the right place

I’ll give it back, then double

Your defeat, my coup de grace

 

Now, I don’t go looking for a fight

It has never been my way

But I’ll defend with all my might

Respect is the price you’ll pay

 

To burn me is disgrace

My honor dies among the flames

There is a time and place

Where this is done without shame

 

I am a symbol - one of a kind

Of that there is no doubt

My beauty withstands the wrath of time

It’s what my color’s are all about

 

I have fought a thousand battles

I’ll fight a thousand more

Beware, as my tail rattles

To tread on me is war

 

I am the American Flag

I wave to honor the free

Mess with any of my children

A mothers vengeance you will see

 

I’ll continue to go on waving

As long as my protectors stand

My dignity they’ll be saving

All across our vast homeland

 

So hear me, my brave saviors

Hear, the song that I sing

Wherever my body waivers

Let the voice of freedom ring
