Words and Music by RAW Boswin
D/F#
G D/A A
If I were to tell you something, I
haven’t till today
I would say that I’m a different
person than the one they sent away
Bm G A A/G D/F#
I have seen fashion and fame,
disappear to be discovered again
G D/F#
Em D/F# G
A
I have seen ordinary days unfold,
and towers fall and planes explode
So I became a soldier, 09-2k1
And then they sent me over, oh
Mama the things we’ve done
I have seen pleasure in pain,
From either side of this war
machine
I’ve seen the horror in a mother’s
eyes,
When her baby falls and angels
rise…
G D/F#
Under the flag, we got here, Under
the flag, we fought here,
Em
D/F# G D/A A
under the flag, I’m not sure, I wanna go home.
G #F/D
Under the sun, we let fly, Bullets
and prayers, that God won’t buy
Em A# Bm G
Underneath the star spangled
banner,
D/F# D/A A
Under the Rockets red glare, the
bombs bursting in air
D/F# G D/F# G
Mama, can I tell you something?
Mama, can I confess?
Even though I volunteered, I
didn’t sign up for this!
I have felt triumph and shame,
To get these oilfields running
again
So Halliburton and Chevron,
Could fill their pipes and burst
their bombs…
Under the flag we got here, Under the flag, we fought here,
Under the flag, I’m not sure, I
wanna go home.
Under the sun, we let fly, Bullets
and tears, that God won’t dry,
Underneath the star spangled
banner,
Under the Rockets red glare, the
bombs bursting in air
And we all stand together, We’re
brothers to the bone,
One way or the other, Brothers
we’ll get home…
Under the flag We got here, Under the flag we fought here,
Under the flag, I’m not sure, I
wanna go home.
Under the sun, we let fly, Bullets
and prayers, that God knows why
Underneath the star spangled
banner,
Under the Rockets red glare, the
bombs bursting in air, under the flag…
