We played cops and robbers in the streets around our house

It was fun and games back then

But it ain't fun now here in our town

Just a bunch of kids skipping church and acting so cool

But now were lightning candles on a friday afternoon here in our town

We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags

When we pledge allegiance we take of our hats here in our town

We say yes mam and no mam we love we don't hate

That word's gone crazy they don't have a place

Here in our town here in our town

The only color we care about is that football jersey blue

So I don't know who the hell that is up there on the news

That ain't our town

We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags

When we pledge allegiance we take of our hats here in our town

We say yes mam and no mam we love we don't hate

That word's gone crazy they don't have a place

Here in our town here in our town

Were better than this tougher than tough

We might get knocked down but we get back up yeah

We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags

When we pledge allegiance we take of our hats here in our town

Our town yeah

We say yes mam and no mam we love we don't hate

That word's gone crazy they don't have a place

Here in our town here in our town yeah
