E 
Now that it’s all right  

To burn the stars and stripes  
        A                            E 
Guess nobody really needs old Uncle Sam  
              B7 
Might as well burn the Bill Of Rights, as well 
  
And let our country go straight to hell  
     E                B7              E 
Only me and crippled soldiers give a damn  


              A 
Should they throw away their Purple Hearts  

And hide their uniforms 
         E 
And be proud to hear Old Glory’s on the ground  

Somebody said they’d take us without firing a shot  
   A                          E 
I don’t know if they will or not  
                            B7             E 
But only me and crippled soldiers give a damn 


Solo 


E 
Has the Holocaust been so long  

Is Hitler really gone  
       A                           E 
As we burn our only cause, for Vietnam  
            B7 
There’s the mom who lost a son 
  
Is this the freedom that we won  
         E                B7              E 
For only me and crippled soldiers give a damn  


            A 
I’ve been known to wave the flag before 
  
And saddened when we went to war  
E 
Fighting for the symbol of our land 
  
For all the wars we fought and won  
    A               E 
To keep Old Glory waving  
                      B7             E 
Today, they ruled to burn Old Glory down  
                          B7               E 
And only me and crippled soldiers give a damn
