Starsailor - Stars and stripes - acoustic lyrics

Stars and stripes keep you warm at night Keep those evil empires from your door Union Jack swept across your back It's lost some of the strength it had before Families of your men can't be ignored Land of greed becoming so obscene Chance to have a history to tell Fairytale, a nation up for sale Selling San Francisco, oh, so well Put your bullets down, you may as well The ground on which you stand Not owned by any man Oh, this fragile peace So close, your weary eyes That old dramatic prize It never can be reached, it never can be Oh, tell me that you love me The stars and stripes, oh, keep you warm at night Keep those evil empires from your door Fairytale, a nation up for sale Families of your men can't be ignored Put your bullets down, now I implore The ground on which you stand Not owned by any man Oh, this fragile peace So close, your weary eyes That old dramatic prize Never can be reached It never can be reached It never can be reached, can be reached Stars and stripes keep you warm at night Keep those evil empires from your door
