They took all the flags down and now,
You can watch the kids the tetherball 'round.
They took all the flags down and now,
Gonna find me a hill and just lay on down.
I've seen the crows down in the street,
I ain't gonna worry 'bout what I eat.
I've seen the crows in the street,
I'm gonna head on down and see who I meet.
I've seen a hole in a chain-link fence,
I'm gonna find me a place to rest.
I've seen a hole down in the fence,
I'm gonna run until my head makes sense.
I feel the gun between my teeth,
I'm gonna die standing on my feet.
I taste the gun between my teeth,
Either him or me is gonna set me free.
They took all the flags down and now,
You can watch the kids the tetherball 'round.
They took all the flags down and now,
Gonna find me a hill and just lay on down.
