Story Behind the Song
This song is a parody of "Courtesy of the Ted, White, & Blue (Angry American) which details the downside of "putting boots in other countries a**es."
Lyrics
American Girls, American Guys lost in a fog of finger ponting and lies
Trying to make sense of this senseless world
So we can leave a future, to our little boy and girls
My daddy served in the army during WW II
He lied about his age for his red white and blue
I got his dress uniform in an old cedar chest
and these tags that he gave me, I still wear on my neck
When I'd ask about those days, he'd always tell me son
I hope you never have to go and do what I done
Cuz there ain't no glory in shooting into
some other mothers children just a messed up as you
It's easy to talk big, from the back of the lines,
when you dont see the faces that you send off to die
Do you see the tears, the horror and shock,
when somebodys angel gets sent home in a box
Courtesy of, the Red White & Blue
But for those who shed, these old mindless way
and give peace a chance before there's nothing left to save
They're ain't no easy answer, but near as I can tell,
and eye for a eye will leave us blind as well
Is the light coming on?, do you see something wrong?,
can you solve the worlds your problems by dropping some bombs?
Will ask forgiveness, for the blood that you spilled
coursety of , red white blue
coursety of , red white blue
2002 John F. Schmelling II
