LYRICS
\nEverybody bleeds in red
\nEverybody ends up dead
\nNobody’s born a dread
\nNow it’s time to use our head
\nNow it’s time to lift our head<\/p>\n

Thirteen stars on a field of blue
\nWhat on earth has become of you
\nRed blood spilled upon the white
\nAll in the name of what is right<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Came to understand ‘not just your land
\nIt’s meant for me and you
\nLeaving our footprints on everything we do
\nGonna command a human ban\/band<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Country ’tis of thee what’s become of thee
\nHypocrisy sweet land of liberty
\nFrom sea to murky sea
\nWhat’s become of being free?<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG

Legend attributes the red on white as symbolism for blood on white bandages.<\/p>\n
