The True Red, White, and blue

By: Travis

THE RED is the blood of innocent people, slaughtered by our armies

THE WHITE symbolizes the purity, which this country isn't and will never be

THE BLUE is for justice, which many never got and most will never see

THE STRIPES for thirteen colonies, who'd be ashamed of what's become of this country

 

Chorus:

It's the true red, white, and blue

A symbol of our country and all it's been through

It's the true red, white, and blue

Centuries of corruption woven in will take centuries more to undo

 

THE STATES, fifty in this country, who really aren't that free

THE STARS for heaven,  which like peace, will probably never reach

THE BOX represents how closed-minded society is in reality

THE BARS of color, are like the bars of power which imprison you and me

 

Chorus:

It's the true red, white, and blue

A symbol of our country and all it's been through

It's the true red, white, and blue

Centuries of corruption woven in will take centuries more to undo

 

THE FLAG is no longer the symbol it was first created to be

THE FLAG is now a fashion in America's trendy society

THE FLAG is a grim reminder of our devastating history

THE FLAG represents a country still far from being the land of the free

 

Chorus:

It's the true red, white, and blue

A symbol of our country and all it's been through

It's the true red, white, and blue

Centuries of corruption woven in will take centuries more to undo
