     B
When freedom is in hiding from morality

                                  Ebm
when you've finally scrubbed this great land clean

of the values you hold in such high esteem

            B                                           
When you've finally divorced the numbers from the names

       Ebm
we can return to your good old days bound and gagged by sex and race

B
chained by family crazed by god while

[Chorus]

    Ebm                          E
We raise the flag shout down the past

              Gbm                   E
the stars and stripes stream by at half mast

          Ebm           E        Gb          Ebm
your eyes well up with tears and yeah so do mine

[Verse 2]

  B
I never knew

             Ebm
The high price of hypocrisy you pledge allegiance to the death penalty

B
believe in your drug war bow down to the TV set

    Ebm
you need to cultivate that apathy

            B                  Ebm
That swells inside your troat

            B
That swells inside your troat

[Chorus]

    Ebm                          E
We raise the flag shout down the past

              Gbm                   E
the stars and stripes stream by at half mast

          Ebm           E        Gb          Ebm     B
your eyes well up with tears and yeah so do mine

[Outro]

Ebm        B
half mast, dehumanized

Ebm        B
half mast, divided

Ebm        B
half mast, overloaded

Ebm        B
half mast, who the fuck cares

so long as you can sleep well under the iron fist Ebm Em Gbm
