Stars And Stripes - Starsailor

The stars and stripes won’t keep you warm at night

Won’t keep those evil empires from your door

The union jack strapped across your back

Has lost some of the strength it had before

The families of your men can’t be ignored

This land of green becoming so obscene

A chance to have a history to tell

A fairy tale nation up for sale

They sell in San Francisco oh so well

Put your bullets down you may as well

The ground on which you stand

Not owned by any man

Oh this fragile peace

So close your weary eyes

That old romantic prize

It never can be reached

It never can be Oh tell me that you love me The stars and stripes won’t keep you warm at night

Won’t keep those evil empires from your door

A fairytale nation up for sale

The families of your men can’t be ignored

Put your bullets down now I implore

The ground on which you stand

Not owned by any man

Oh this fragile peace

So close your weary eyes

That old romantic prize

It never can be reached

It never can be reached

It never can be reached

It can’t be reached

The stars and stripes won’t keep you warm at night

Won’t keep those evil empires from your door
