Anti-Flag - Stars And Stripes Lyrics
welcoming with open arms and, with open hearts
in the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out
this country named "america", is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place
the word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..."
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me... For me!
it's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground, for multinational companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies
their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..."
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
at little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads: "to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing
hostile indians away... '
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves
when they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!"
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe

Anti-Flag Stars And Stripes Comments
2020 anyone?
Yes, against the rich man war!
I fucking hate you pussy fucking sell outs!!!!!!
Fuck Montana
Man, this song like all of anti flags other songs, they are horribly misinformed. Sad because the music itself is good, lyrics are like an 8th grade liberal with no idea what their argument is about
Oi! Love it
147 bootlickers dislike this video
Fucking traitors
Isn’t it funny how the same system of American capitalism that anti flag complains about is also the same system that allowed them to become rich and successful
This song has never been more relevant than with Trump as president. His baby prisons, deporting members of the US military, ignoring white supremacy as a threat, ignoring the constitution, ignoring human rights, ignoring human decency, ignoring the poor and sick, making it worse for everyone who doesn’t make $250k a year.....
America is a continent
Is not america is united estates
i'm not right or left.but i love anti flag.this song tells the truth.i hate not americans or the USA.i hate the US Government and the fu**ing assholes they terrorizes the World.Anti Flag good band.
Same. The ones at the top have fucked up everything and twisted my generation in so many ways that many are unrecognizable from the people I would have known.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 i used to like this song and then I remembered I love this country Hooah! Get some.
lol fucking braindead
stars in your eyes, stripoes on your back.
Great. I Love this song👍
Meh, the “Injuns” were conquered; people have been getting conquered since the dawn of man.
You're an idiot and a bad person.
@Torbjorn Lindholm this. also flyers suck
Stars and Stripes are prison bars...don’t be brainwashed by the elected few ...think for yourself.
i pop the volume on this song on 4th on july
still listen to in 2019!
From the CZ
Sort Music cor Sport people
im soo thankfully these guys convinced me not to join the army.1
spot on. i could not agree more.. a veteran born overseas.
Fuck US imperialism!
Punks are bigger pussies and complainers than emo kids or furries
so triggered Lmao
STOP supporting wars fought over economic interest!
Great! Greatings from the EU/Germany. We fall together!!!
Back when antiflag still had a pair of balls on them.
"Not me!"
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 brought me here.
Yup! Still my 4th of July Anthem!
Only good thing about Pro Skater 5 was the soundtrack. Because of it I'm now a big fan of Anti-Flag
Obama sucks! Deported more illegals & dropped more bombs on the Mid East than any president! TRUMP 2020
Thank you for reminding me about Manu Chao!
Move back to your country
TickleChits no
Good thing those stars and stripes give them the freedom to sing that nonsense
Have you nicked the brain off the guy in your profile picture
"nonsense"
I love this song now
Virtue Signalling at its finest...
We are not a democracy. We are an oligarchy ruled by a plutocracy. AmeriKa is corporate owned and Zionist controlled. Republicans and Democrats are different wings of the same bird.
yet nobody noticed the ''88'' in the name of the channel...
all was all own until you went after solders
Seems relevant to the shit going on in the NFL and Trump's dumbass remarks.
Its the zionists fault not the "white's" fault
Exactly right sir. Thanks to all the sellout puppet politicians who pledge to AIPAC for continuing our mess.
Thank you lucifer
Fuck off Nazi bitch
they put municipal waste crime and punishment in this game it would be twice is more better than it is right now
I will be there in the morning to see if I could get a copy of humanity and I will be there at school and I have been working on a project that I will not be there for you and a few other things I need to do to get it out of the way for you to get home and
Yeh nah I can't be the only one that this is Garth out of Wayne's world ?
people who hate these guys do not understand what they are saying. or trying to say
I love this song and all of Anti flag's songs. This song is supposed to be not only for entertainment but this song says the true history of America and how some people actually think of it. Also when they say "Don't fly those stripes those star s and stripes for me" it's saying that this band doesn't want to be part of America's horrible yet true history. I agree with the song cause when you think about it we stole this land from innocent Native Americans ,and we have become more greedy and more of a monster over the years. All of Anti flag's songs are to explain the truth.
Innocent natives... That's funny. History indicates that they were not nearly or remotely innocent... They joined British and French forces during the French and Indian War, and previous Wars (King Philips' War, King Williams' War, Queen Mary Anne's War) to essentially rid themselves of rival tribes in return for French/British assistance and protection...
They were as devious and cruel as the "white devil" they point the finger at...
History is filled with violence. Point to me, a country, and I can do a quick google search of EVERY single war in its history from its formation...
America is not the exception... Its just another page in the bloody, violent history of the world...
fantastic lyrics
But yet they are making money in a capitalist amerkkk, while condemning it. Liberals are some of the biggest buffoons I've ever known.
derrillcrowbar503 news flash they need to eat and pay bills
Exactly typical red star hypercraites
i dig the tune (A)
Here come the butt hurt liberals and democrats, fuck off pussies move to mexico
Anthony Capocci Yep, they can move the fuck out!!!
I'm a veteran and I couldn't agree more with this
@plsdont but they fucked up almost every other war since then. Usa joined mainly cos of pearl harbour and they wanted to rebuild there crippling economy after the depression
plsdont you’re thinking of the USSR
thanks buddy.
Celeste Monique edgy
@Celeste Monique shut up
Don't fly those stripes those stars and stripes for me FUCK TRUMP
We have a real reason to fear now. Trump. Look who he is hiring to his cabinet. If there has ever been a time it is now!!!!!!!!!!!!
CidAngst yeah but it's never been good. Obama sucks bush sucks trump sucks they all fucking suck
If you think it just got this way because of Trump being in office, you don't know AAANNYYTHING about your own history, and you haven't been paying attention to the last 35 years.
It's been awful forever, but it's steadily gotten worse since Reagan, and YES, BILL CLINTON and BARACK OBAMA were HUGE parts of that decline.
The rapid decline of our nation has been going on long before Reagan and a lot more than 35 years. We got high on a power trip on August 6, 1945 and never came down. But truthfully, the further back you look at our country's history, the more you realize that we, as a nation, have treated huge swaths of humanity as subhumans since the start. We came to escape persecution, and ended up persecuting literally everyone else, from Asians, to Africans...Irish to Hispanics.
Stand up for the water defenders fighting for clean water and Native sovereignty against the pigs and oathbreakers in North Dakota.
It actually scares me seeing how people are glorifying Trump, someone who openly degraded women and stereotyped people by their ethic background, but this comment section really gave me some faith in humanity again.
So thank you fellow anarchist! 😊
And Bush didn’t bother you?
@JiHottist
Bush sure as fuck bothered me, and the present day attempt to whitewash his administration's legacy is insanely disgusting. Maybe OP wasn't old enough to have had an informed opinion of much of Bush's presidency at that time, but either way I don't see what your point is.
Trump is ending wars that Obama and Bush started.... are you mad we are in the most peaceful time in history?
dat bass doh
THE song of today..
This song's meaning has never been more true than it is now.
Edit 11/8/17: A year ago since I made this comment. Still stand by it.
Edit 5/24/18: NFL passes a rule penalizing players who kneel for the anthem. Fuck off.
Edit 7/4/2019: Yep the USA still sucks lol
Cameron It's been true for a while now
yet don't realize the hypocrisy of your statement. do you enjoy your ability to write this without fear of consequence? cool. thought so.
Freedom of speech can still apply while I can still refuse to support the current state of the United States.
this song is my mood today. fuck amerikkka and fuck trump.
Bree Hillary was the ultimate warmonger and corporatist.. Also to mention, the establishment pushed for her so hard to win.. hahaha the irony of you attacking Trump over Hillary is funny.
that's today's song!
absolutely! i'm sick of all the people in the alt media who seem to want to celebrate today. we were all blind-sided and the elites played the trump card on us today. f trump, f hillary, obama, bush, mccain, soros, rockefeller, rothschild, warren buffet, and all the rest.
sincerely irritated christian anarchist who came here for some happy music.
anyone else voteing for trump today? make america great again
get out of my room mom
Tonight's debate made me want to listen to this song....
I really wish dis wus moar of an Anti-American band than anti-government. They should just dis and insult USA's citizens. Lol, jk. XD
Best Band :)
No,die ärzte is the best band in the world.Germans will get it
July 4th 2016
'Murrica bought me here !!
Gonna play this song over and over today since its the 4th of July! Don't fly those stripes those stars and stripes for me! For me!
I wonder what kind of world we would be living in today if the Indian's weren't all slaughtered and if their land was not stolen. Guess we will never know :'-(
A better question is what would the world be like tomorrow if we decided to stop with our nationalism and instead united under one common interest?
wastnTIMEwastnTIME Socialist fuxk
you should have also played FUCK THE BORDER by propagandhi. XD
Native Americans*
If you have land, you better be able to defend it. If ‘Murica didn’t take the “Injuns” land, someone else would have.
This is a good song, but I believe in the sentiment of the Bill of Rights which is supposed to be represented by the flag. Even if it is a sham.
I recently got a part-time job (my first job), but I hate how they have to pull out some of my pay to pay for U.S taxes. I don't want to fund all this fucked up shit... Ugh. I guess that's what you get for being employed in the United States
I dont know how the USA spends their taxes but for example in the Czech Republic taxes are given to the people employed by the country (nurses, police etc...) and many more. So yea they are importnant and even though the taxes "cut" 23% of my income it still makes a sense for me to pay them.
God, I get you man, I wish I could just move to another country but im only 19 with like no money or connections and my parents would have a freakout
Dont worry they just print money, the money you pay in does not count its just part of the illusion that keeps people above you.
Do you understand how the system works? If the US just kept printing money, it would devalue the dollar by a large amount.
Anthony. That's exactly what they do. Print money out of thin air. The federal reserve isn't even federal it's a private owned bank backed by the Rothchilds family. BTW the value of the dollar has gone down and will continue to go down. That's part of the plan.
communists
+RipDoo And no I`m not a Communist either.I`m just one of the few in my country who knows what it really is.
+Mutualist Freedom Fighter 3 hey a fellow mutualist
@Ilya Lypyak Indeed,Kevin A. Carson,Benjamin R. Tucker,Clarence Lee Swartz,Josiah Warren,Gary Chartier,G.D.H. Cole,Emma Goldman and Voltairine de Cleyre are strong influences on my political beliefs.
so what!?
Socialist*
I'm going to play this all day when the 2016 election is over.
That's pretty edgy.
well we know how that ended for you yanks. love from Canada
Fingers crossed for 2020
I Don't give a fuck about the Tony hawks games
is stars and stripes the warplanes?
"star's and stripes" is the name of the American flag
what is rebellion
Am I the only one here whos not from a video game..?
Evan Koketko no
@Punk666 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
@Stefan S Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
Shhhhhh.....
Think I speak for most people when I say what a fucking tune lads 👍🏻
thps5<3
THPS5 is awesome
sounds like garf out of waynes world
I saw these guys in pittsburgh two nights ago, one of the most high energy bands I've ever seen. simply incresible.
THPS5 made this shitty fuckboy band popular that's so embarrassing since it's been out for years and THPS5 just cane out lmaoooo
+Barry H. Thats why I said it's embarrassing
seeing these lyrics makes me realize how dark this song is
Hey if you don't want like it here it's you go, but hey freedom of speech only America
I hear ya, but still....
What a bunch of pansy wankers.
Sounds very THPS to me, I'm happy
Definately a tony hawks song
Yeah I hate our government but anarchy doesn't work any better. Anarchists trust human nature way too much. There's laws and prison for people now and they still commit crimes, crime would go up exponentially without a system in place.
WELCOME TO THPS5
+lol_itsgonenow Yeah, I'm playing it on PS2
To bad the game is kinda crappy, don't get me wrong it's fun every now and again but I mean compared to the old games it's really stiff.
This is one of the best songs in my opinion on soundtrack of thps5
you're too young to know about those old games homie. this one returned to it's roots, and it's a good thing.
Im not too young, tony hawk games are my childhood, and still are a good chucnk of it
My 4th of July music :)
Me too! First song I needed to hear today :)
i will post this on 4th of july
how are you dealing with trump?
every 4th and every thankskilling!
My first of June music, haha
This is the gayest band ever wow
Thanks for giving a voice to Native Americans and Indigenous people of the world. We get this!!
fuck anyone who stands with this I am a corpsman for the United States Navy and I hate being called a murderer that is shit. if you do not like this amazing country get the fuck out nobody is holding you here lets see how green it is on the other side. If I deploy I do it because it is instilled in me I should go and if my country asks for my life I shall give it for them and my men under me. I am sad to think I defend freedom and democracy for you ungrateful tree hugging idiots ive tend to notice the people who are anti military don't know what the fuck happens in the world ya some of it can say shame on us but I bet no German is happy with Hitler and no Cuban is happy with Castro so see there is far worse than America I would say we are one of the better nations out there for protecting the people of the world rather than killing them all but in reality we do many great things such as humanitarian efforts and ending terrorist threats so the people over in those countries can live in peace so fuck everyone who does not believe we do anything good or do more bad than good because you are then the blind sheep not me
@paincakes189 If you are going to speak for Americans, at least learn to speak the english language. You are a corpsman for the navy? I don't think so. You don't even know how to punctuate a sentence. If you are the best we have to offer, it's no wonder this song had to be written.
Exactly instilled you my friend have been indoctrinated
@Logic Bomb BOOOM.
@paincakes189 You just got owned son!
+paincakes189 you're retarded.
Fuck America and fuck all the greedy mother materialistic mother fuckers. hey remember why Gorge Washington fought the British? I'm pretty sure it was for freedom and what do you know a few hundred years later all that fucking work was thrown down the drain and instead of being free we are now just slaves to America so what did Gorge and all those other people fight for if this is how it is now?
Fuck the imperialist ISIS war! No more US interventionism, no more drones raining down death in the name of "peace"!
so you'd rather let the people get killed by isis?
@Antonia Hoch
I feel like you would have used this same exact sentence structure talking about Ebola and its massive US impact a few months ago.
@Traff Icit i did not comment anything about ebola. And excuse me, i think i don't really unterstand what you wrote. My English isn't very good
FUCK YOU AMERICA! you have become a Socialistic country.I Support our Service men and past Service men but everyone in congress and the white house can lick my left nut.Everyone is too scared to stand up AND DO SOMETHING we dont have to riot to make a change.MAJORITY CAN OVERTHROW OUR GOVERMENT TO RESTART.
