"Blinded by Stars"
My blood does remember the rhythm of a drum
Beat by a boy soldier whose revolution won
I’ve carried pretty flowers to fallen heroes graves
And stood in silence honoring the price our fathers paid
Blinded by stars, tangled in stripes
This was their flag but this ain’t their fight
Dirty with oil, tattered by spite
This is our flag but this ain’t our fight
So what do you call justice and what is freedom for
Don’t let the towncrier decide if we go to war
'Cause this ain’t about your mettle
The choice is of the soul
And hate is never brave while mercy’s always, always bold
Blinded by stars, tangled in stripes
This is our flag but that ain’t our fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This is our flag but that ain’t our fight
This is my flag but this ain’t my fight
Now I was born a rebel, I question what I’m told
No wonder this young skin I’m wearin’ feels so old
Don’t be blinded by stars tangled in stripes
This is our flag but this ain’t our fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This is our flag but that ain’t our fight
This is my flag but this ain’t my fight
