THE FLAGS OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY
THIS IS A COUNTRY OF FIFTY STATES
WE FLY OLD GLORY PROUD
WHEN THERE'S TALK OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM
OLD GLORY SPEAKS IT LOUD
IT REPRESENTS AMERICA
A COUNTRY THAT IS SO GREAT
SO WHY DO THE FLAGS OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY
FLY OVER THE UNITED STATES
YOU SEE, SOME STATES TRIED TO SECEDE WHEN THEY COULDN’T GET THEIR WAY
THE COUNTRY WAS MOVING ON BUT THEY WANTED IT TO STAY
IN A SITUATION THE WAY IT SHOULD NOT BE
UNJUST AND UNEQUAL AND MINUS LIBERTY
THESE STATES HAD DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO BREAK
A NEW COUNTRY THEY DECIDED, IT WAS TIME TO MAKE
THEY CREATED A NEW GOVERNMENT THAT WAS BOUND TO FALL
THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, WHERE FREEDOM WAS FOR NOT ALL
THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD A GRAND IDEA, OF THE UNION THEY SHOULD BE NAUGHT
SO THEY SET ABOUT TO TAKE ACTION, TO REALIZE THESE THOUGHTS
A NEW CONSTITUTION, A REVOLUTION TO SEPARATE THEMSELVES
READY TO SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES TO CONTROL THE LIVES OF SOMEONE ELSE
AND THEY CREATED STANDARDS, AND FLAGS AND PENNANTS TOO
TO SHOW THAT THEY HAD CEDED, AND WITH THE U S. THEY WERE THROUGH
THEY RAISED THEIR FLAGS AND BATTLE PENNANTS AND TOOK A REBEL STAND
AND SAID WE’RE NOW A COMPLETELY SEPARATE AND COMPLETELY FOREIGN LAND
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS REBELLION
AS EVERY ONE COULD SEE
WAS TO KEEP BLACK PEOPLE ENSLAVED
AND USE HIS POWER AND STRENGTH - FOR FREE
AS THE CORNERSTONE OF THEIR
NEWLY APPROVED CONSTITUTION
WAS THE PERPETUAL ENSLAVEMENT OF BLACKS
ALL THE CONFEDERATE STATES PASSED THE RESOLUTION
BUT STRONG PRAYERS TO HEAVEN WERE ADDING UP
AND LIKE IN THE ANCIENT BOOKS WERE WROTE
IT WAS TIME FOR AMERICA TO PAY UP
ON AN OVERDUE PROMISSORY NOTE
SO WAR ENSUED BETWEEN THE GRAY AND BLUE
AND WHEN THE BATTLE WAS ABOUT TO END
IT BECAME APPARENT
THE SUPER RACISTS WOULD LOSE AND THE UNION WOULD ULTIMATELY WIN
THE LEADERS OF THE COUNTRY THEN
HAD BUT JUST ONE GOAL
TO ELIMINATE THIS FOREIGN LAND
AND BRING EACH STATE BACK IN THE FOLD
SO STATE BY STATE, THIS COUNTRY
DID COME BACK TOGETHER
THE ATTEMPTED SECCESSION FAILED
THE STRIFE THE COUNTRY DID WEATHER
AND DISPERSED THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA
OUTRIGHT WITHOUT CONDITION
AND ELIMINATED THIS FOREIGN COUNTRY
AND IT’S FLAGS OF RECOGNITION
AND SO RESET THE CONSTITUTION, OF THE USA
BANISHING FREE BLACK LABOR, CALLED SLAVERY, COMPLETELY AWAY
GETTING SOMETHING FOR NOTHING, THIS LAZINESS, IS NOT HOW IT WOULD BE
IT WAS OVERDUE TO RECOGNIZE, ALL AMERICANS BY BIRTHRIGHT WERE FREE
STILL BITTER ABOUT LOSING THIS WAR
BETWEEN WHAT WAS RIGHT AND WRONG
AND INSTEAD OF RECONCILING
TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY STRONG
SOME OF THE STATES ARE STILL REBELLING
LOOK INTO THE SKY
THE FLAGS OF THIS FOREIGN COUNTRY
OVER THESE STATES STILL THEY FLY
THE FLAGS THAT REPRESENT
THE ATTEMPT TO DIVIDE THIS NATION
BASED UPON THESE PRINCIPLES:
UNEARNED PRIVILEGE AND DISCRIMINATION
THE CONFEDERATE FLAG AND IT’S BATTLE FLAGS
ARE RAISED JUST LIKE THE SUN
THEY FLY THESE FLAGS OF A FOREIGN NATION
AS IF THE WAR THEY WON
THEY FLY THESE RACIST BANNERS
UP HIGH THROUGH THE WIND
IS THIS WHAT THEY MEANT WHEN THEY SAID
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
HOW CAN AMERICA LET THE FLAGS
OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY BE UNFURLED
AND FLY OVER THIS FREE LAND
WHAT ARE WE TELLING OURSELVES AND THE WORLD
THAT IT’S REALLY OK TO ACT ALONG THE LINES OF RACE AND HATE
AS WE FLY IN A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY FLAGS THAT REPRESENT A FOREIGN STATE
THE FLAGS OF GEORGIA, FLORIDA, ARKANSAS, ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI
REPRESENT STOLEN LABOR AND OPPRESSION, THE OPPOSITE OF LIBERTY
IN SOUTH CAROLINA THE LAWMAKERS STILL ARE IN DENIAL
THEY ACT AS IF THEY’VE CEDED AND PASS LAWS IN THAT STYLE
THE LEGISLATURE FLIES A FOREIGN BATTLE FLAG, WITHIN THEIR VERY GATES
IN SOME PLACES WE’RE NOT THE UNITED, BUT STILL THE CONFEDERATE STATES
ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION, WOULD WE EVER LET IT BE
TO LET THE JAPANESE FLAG BE RAISED AND FLY OVER HAWAII
MAYBE THE U. S. GOVERNMENT WILL SAY IT’S OK WITH ME
TO LET THE FLAG OF GERMANY FLY OVER WASHINGTON D. C.
OLD GLORY LOOKS AT THIS I’M SURE
AND SHAKES IT’S HEAD IN RAGE
AND SAYS WHAT KIND OF COMPROMISE
HAS MY COUNTRY MADE
I'VE TRIED TO CHANGE MY WAYS
THE CONSTITUTION TO TRULY REFLECT
BUT STILL WE'VE GOT THOSE LIVING HERE
FREEDOM FOR ALL THEY WANT TO REJECT
I VALIANTLY FOUGHT AND DEFEATED THESE FLAGS
AND ALL THAT THEY STOOD FOR
AND NOW YOU FLY THEM NEXT TO ME
YOU COULDN’T HURT ME MORE
LOOKS LIKE THE BATTLE MUST CONTINUE
THEY HAVEN'T LEARNED THEIR LESSON
THE OUTCOME WILL BE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME
THAT'S WHAT I KNOW, I AM NOT GUESSING
THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY WHOLE
ARE STRONGER AND MORE DETERMINED
TO NEVER LET FOREIGN FLAGS FLY HERE
LIKE THE CONFEDERATE ONES, FOR CERTAIN
YES, THIS IS A COUNTRY OF FIFTY STATES
THAT FLY OLD GLORY PROUD
WHEN WE TALK OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM
OLD GLORY SPEAKS IT LOUD
IT SAYS I REPRESENT AMERICA
A COUNTRY THAT IS GREAT
AND IT'S TIME TO TAKE DOWN THE FOREIGN FLAGS
THAT FLY OVER MY UNITED STATES
