lyrics

I don’t know why they fly that flag so high
Don’t think they know the stones they throw
Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away
I hope someday they find their way

And in your pickup truck looking redneck and rough
Ain’t got nothing better to do
Say that it’s rebellion, didn’t know ‘bout segregation
Too busy trying to look cool

Well, I don’t know why they fly that flag so high
Don’t think they know the stones they throw
Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away
I hope someday they find their way

Looking out on my streets where many cultures meet
Haven’t seen you stay for too long
Your fear crippled heart has left you bound with many scars
Don’t take your shit out on me

Well, I don’t know why they fly that flag so high
Don’t think they know the stones they throw
Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away
I hope someday they find their way
I hope someday they find their way
