Uploaded by: RISEAGAINST6547
Video Description:
Rise Against's New album, Appeal To Reason.
Lyrics:
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."
Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight
A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends
They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again
A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away
The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow
A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

Tell a friend:
not even one of those good nobs that opens doors.
Your just a nob on the wall. useless
but cum on dumb bum u knw this song is about being a solider and having to unfortunetly take ur orders.
actually dude this song rilly doesnt give an opion. Its just narration and u make it urself.
fuck that lazy shit too. Ur country should have health care. When u cut ur forhead it should coast $400 to get stich it up. fuck that earned money shouldnt be spent on that.
holy crusades anyone?
they have been doing them things for decades, bush only decided to invade now, why?
oil.
sad lyrics, but very impressive with his powerfull voice!
You know who this is !!
Great song, captures the spirit of the modern war well.
Its unfortunate anyone needs to die through mindless acts of violence, oppression and war mongering. The US should know, since world war 2 the US armed forces have been constantly invading, propping up brutal dictatorships, and offering "military aid" to the globe - Military industrial complex - well who gives a shit if innocents die, at least the economy is safe!!! Oh wait, no its not. Nice work!
far too true.
if nobody joined the US army. then some other army would come in and kill everyone.
they only way to stop violece is to stop it ALL. forever
