Somebody's tearin' the Flag

Rippin' the thread from the stars

Pullin' this Country apart

Somebody's tearin' the Flag

Lord I've been thinkin'

Sittin' out here on the front porch all by myself

I realize I need to talk to somebody

I'm just too mixed up to talk to anybody else

I've been in there looking at the television

And I've been reading that newspaper every night

Lord there's somethin' going on out there

And the best I can figure there ain't nobody right

Somebody's tearin' the Flag

Rippin' the thread from the stars

Pullin' this Country apart

Somebody's tearin' the Flag

You know I went into town to pay the light bill today

And to pick up just a few things down at the store

Ah the prices have gone up so much this year

The working man don't stand much of a chance no more

Why he's over taxed he's under paid

Can't buy the things for his kids decent home

And with the drugs and the maniacs runnin' loose on the streets

It ain't safe to be out alone

Somebody's tearin' the Flag

Rippin' the thread from the stars

Pullin' this Country apart

Somebody's tearin' the Flag

Why I can't even tell if the bad guys are after the good guys

Or the good guys are after the bad

And I really got to watch what I say around my friends

`Cause one of them's liable to get mad

Lord you know me and I ain't give up yet

Maybe I'm just tired and all worn out

But it kinda looks like to me

That this One Nation Under God

Gonna need God to straighten it out

Somebody's tearin' the Flag

Rippin' the thread from the stars

Pullin' this Country apart

Somebody's burnin' the Flag
