Propagandhi - Stick The Fucking Flag Up Your Goddam Ass, You Sonofabitch Lyrics






My father told me "son, it's futile to resist,
You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist."
I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting war.
"Well that's the sound of freedom, son" he said. (Free to say no more.)

But wait a minute dad, did you actually say freedom?
Well, if you're dumb enough to vote, you're fuckin dumb enough to believe 'em.
Cuz if this country is so goddam free,
Then I can burn your fucking flag wherever I damn well please.

And then I'm gonna stick it up your fucking ass

I carried their anthem, convinced it was mine.
Rhymeless, unreasoned conjecture kept me in line.
But then I stood back and wondered what the fuck had they done to me.
Made accomplice to all that I'd promised I would never fucking be.
Never be.

You carry their anthem, convinced that it's yours.
Invitation to honor. Invitation to war.
Bette Midler now assumes sainthood.
Romanticize murder for moral.
Tie a yellow ribbon round the oak tree my friend,
And "Gee Wally, that's swell!"
Fuck the troops to hell!

    Teenagers outrage filled with nihilism and resentment. Pathetic!
    No clue to what responsibility, respect, or any moral value framework. Kids with no brain's.
    Ungrateful spoiled brats.

    J.... R....

    @GREATEST CHEATS OF ALL TIME I believe it would have been 94 when I saw them as well. An old profane existance band "State of fear" opened for them when I saw them. Disrupt, Destroy, defiance, civil disobedience, aus rotten, crass; I loved all those crust punk bands from that era!

  5. A.... G....

    Fucking perfect.

    e.... ....

    If you think this is more or less relevant depending on who's in the Oval Office you missed the fucking point.

    e.... ....

  19. A.... ....

    lol at all the people getting offended and not understanding that most of propagandhi's songs are ironic and/or sarcastic. Probably one of the angriest and powerful punk songs I've ever heard

    A.... ....

    Punk/Hardcore/Metal This song is not sarcastic.

    A.... ....

    We Remotely Low
    No, it isn't.

    Sorry, OP, but not only do your politics suck, you also don't know how to interpret basic texts.

    A.... ....

    Lol this song couldn’t be any more to the point.

  20. W.... C....

    To all the people offended at Kaepernick for knelling during the national anthem... go ahead and stick that flag up your fucking ass!!!!!!!!

  21. d.... ....

  26. K.... B....

    Maybe it is more honorable to be tortured and dumped in nameless graves.

  27. K.... B....

    Some people have no choice. You try hanging around some of these baby boomers for a whole childhood and see where it takes you.

  35. Z.... ....

    It seems the name of the band, and the context that includes, is beyond a lot of people, when it comes to using that context with they songs they play.

  36. B.... ....

    I am a veteran, and I sincerely wish I wasn't. I happen to LOVE this song.

    B.... ....

    Blenderhead71 hey, I'm an OEF vet! This song and " 'Merican" by The Descendents sum up my post military experience and feelings lol

    B.... ....

    don't be ashamed

    B.... ....

    please use what you wer taught to train comrades. information share!

    B.... ....

    Well I love this whole album. And also thank you for your service.

    B.... ....

    @Hopsnbarley Is it impossible for you to comprehend that veterans after being used like a pawn tend to hate their country afterwards?

  37. R.... T....

    I believe with their anarchist views, just not with their communist views.

    R.... T....

    Red Pilled Libertarian
    Anarchism is not compatible without capitalism. Capitalism is based on hierarchy, and cannot exist without a state to enforce "property rights" (whatever the fuck that is). For those reasons, and many more , anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron and cannot exist. Which is exactly why, unlike anarcho syndicalism/communism, it has never existed anywhere on Earth.

    What *you* believe in is either Fascism or neo-feudalism.

    If you want to get into actual anarchist thought that still maintains free markets, do a Google search for "free market anti-capitalism". You'll get a bunch of stuff from anarchists (eg individualist anarchists etc) and some non-anarchists as well.

    R.... T....

    ancomred
    Yes, anarchism =/= anti-statism. For example, feudalism has very anti-statist features, but it is still based on tremendously abusive, unjustified hierarchies and an economic system built on private property and extreme wealth inequality. People (mostly American Libertarians and "ancaps") forget that the state is not the only oppressive institution. In fact, I'd say the abolition of capitalism should take priority over anything else (at least, if we are to prioritize like that). The state *can* actually provide for the benefit of its citizens, whereas I don't see how capitalism could do so (nor do I see what incentive it would have to do so). Of course, to the extent that the state does do good, it's mostly just in slightly balancing out and the horrors of modern-day capitalism (which it simultaneously tries to maintain), soo yanno.. lol.

    R.... T....

    Red Pilled Libertarian
    No, we can't live side-by-side, because unlike you, we know who our enemies are, and we aren't stupid enough to think it's just "teh guverrment!". CAPITALISM is the enemy; the state is just there to balance out maintaining capitalism and current power structures, and keeping people from revolting. You're a clown if you think capitalism can exist without a state.

    In other words, *you* are the enemy first and foremost. So no, we cannot live side-by-side with your fantasyland.

    R.... T....

    Lol one of their songs is Literally called Anti Commie. What the fuck are you talking about

    R.... T....

    Jazz Solo Cup
    What song? Moron.

  38. G.... M....

    I'm laughing at the amount of sheeple that are offended by this song

  39. f.... ....

    16 pillocks found it objectionable. Ha.

  40. D.... P....

    Free enough to play guitar and sit their lazy asses on a tour bus huh. this shit sucks real bad

    D.... P....

    yeah man canada is fuckin great

    D.... P....

    Lmao omg the ignorance

  41. w.... ....

    chechnya lol nope. Your on stolen land. You can get the fuck out.

    c.... ....

    Now th freedumb

  46. J.... S....

    A quote from somebody else is just as valid as saying something yourself. There are some things that have been put in the best words possible already, why not use them?

  47. F.... ....

    I could come up with an argument for you, but sometimes a quote can suffice. Who the fuck hasn't quoted someone else to represent what they think? You're fucking ridiculous.

  48. T.... C....

    "When a man quotes another man in order to prove a point of his own, that man deserves to be buttfucked by a narwhal." -Me bitch

  50. T.... C....

    I disagree, I strongly support the troops, just not the greedy fucks who control them.

    T.... C....

    No wars without the MIC, but no wars without the troops, either.

    All are fucked. Don't participate.

  51. F.... ....

    The last line may actually be the best line in music history. Like, no hyperbole.

  52. l.... ....

    fuck the borders, burn the flags, Anarchy for humanity!

  53. H.... ....

    it's futile to resist,
    You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist.
    so true, we are born into a world so far gone mad that we can never regain control and they know it.

  54. C.... ....

    Barack Obama reigns hellfire on the sky in the Middle East with fucking robots, allows for indefinite detention of Americans, and tries to Nazify the Internet not one, not two, but three times...

    I think it's finally safe to say that we can say fuck the entire American system, not just one side (Republicans) of the same fucking coin.

  55. m.... d....

    Welcome brother!

  58. 1.... ....

    What a heartwarming little diddy.

  59. B.... ....

    Here's a though, everyone shut up and enjoy the fucking music !

  60. A.... ....

    the two bitching children need to shut up and listen to fucking music.

  61. l.... p....

    Singer kinda reminds me of Fat Mike.

  62. C.... ....

    10 people are fucking retarded

  63. N.... ....

    When did I say I think people should act indifferent politically? I just think that people who vote are full of shit. Not to mention that the second you take action against the government you get thrown into fucking Gitmo so no one really has any room to rebel individually. One person is a terrorist, one million is a revolution.

  64. s.... ....

    Regardless, just because the people in office are "evil", doesn't mean you should act indifferent. They would rather have you apathetic & submissive than joining up in a militant opposition.

  65. s.... ....

    lol 4chan shit? lol wtf. why are there so many 16 year old know-it-alls commenting.

  66. N.... ....

    "Contribution" doesn't mean "voting corporate whores into office", pal. Watch George Carlin's bit about voting. I probably don't have enough space to put my opinion in a single YouTube comment but that video basically sums up what I think about voting.

    Also, I like how you call that guy the buttplug of society and you're doing stupid ass 4chan shit on YouTube.

  67. s.... ....

    1) So you're one of those people who complain about politics yet you don't get involved in it? Right. It's like complaining about not enough religious holidays when you're not even religious. You have the right to your opinion but when you don't have any contribution, well it kind of undermines everything you say; your views aren't validated

    2)
    > I had heard
    > somewhere
    > didn't bother to confirm
    So many things wrong with this statement.

  68. E.... ....

    1) Not voting is not the same as doing nothing. Actually, voting is pretty close to doing nothing. To get a big head when you do it is pretty shameful. And I didn't even say I don't vote. I just don't vote for killers and thieves, which excludes most candidates (for federal office) from the two major parties.
    2) I had heard that statistic somewhere and didn't bother to confirm it just to make a YouTube comment. Looking elsewhere, I'm seeing a figure of "only" 49 to 1 most often. Yeah, WAY off...

  69. s.... ....

    Lol its better than sitting back and doing nothing and bitching about politics when you don't make any contribution to society. You're the buttplug of society, sitting on your ass making excuses for your insecurities instead of actually wanting any change. Yeah yeah, and those drone strike statistics are way off.

  70. E.... ....

    You can't vote against somebody (with a few exceptions, like Nevada). You must vote for somebody, and if you vote for most Democrats or Republicans in the U.S. at present, you are casting a vote in favor of, for example, drone strikes that kill 100 innocent civilians for each alleged terrorist, the continuation of the failed war on drugs and the mass incarceration that goes along with it, and government propping up failing industries. I hope your vote for evil makes you feel good about yourself.

  71. C.... ....

    Yeah, this sucks.

  72. S.... ....

    Seeing propaghandi for the second time tonight with Comeback Kid and Single Mothers in London, Ontario!!!! So pumped!

  73. G.... Z....

    911GATE 2012

  74. h.... ....

    radical Canadians! groovy!

  75. m.... ....

    but wait a minute dad did u actually say freedom??well if ur dumb enough to vote then ur fkn dumb enough to believe them,cause if this god damn country is so god damn free then i can burn ur fukn flag whether i damn well please..and then im gonna stick up ur fkn ass!!!!!!!!

  76. S.... S....

    "pine kleen"

  77. B.... ....

    Fuckin' good band.... and song....

  78. n.... ....

    If you own that flag feel free to burn it. but you don't get to shove it up someone's ass without a fight.. Plus dicks there are three ways to vote. Boots, ballots and Bullets.. (1) You can leave with your boots, (2) ballots you can try to vote the change you want.. or (3) bullets.. you believe your being so wronged and have no remedy you can fight to the death that always is an option.

  79. D.... I....

    Fuck this country....

  80. T.... P....

    I don't exactly agree with the last line of the song, but over all great song. FUCK AMERICA.

  81. j.... ....

    co-signed.

  82. j.... ....

    less talk is so rad, but this album is still a go-to for 'em

  83. f.... ....

    I love it when they say 'fuck the troops to hell'

  84. J.... A....

    @THELOOSESTBUTTHOLE
    I think I understand what you're saying. It's the illusion of change that voting promises.

  85. T.... ....

    @GuitarMannnnnn Because voting isn't about changing anything it's about consenting to government control. If voting could change anything it would be illegal. By not voting you are not supporting a coercive system where two people can vote away the rights of one. There's more to it than that, but that's just my input.

  86. J.... A....

    The only part of this song I don't agree with is "If you're dumb enough to vote, you're dumb enough to believe em' " I know you can't change anything major by voting, but you'll accomplish just as much by not voting.

  87. A.... M....

    @noodlelova3 Yea I'm against the war and the military industrial complex but the common soldiers are often just people from poor neighborhoods who hope the military will offer them a future. However in Propagandhi's defense they were much younger when they made this song.

  88. M.... D....

    @alexmonro83 i agree with you their but what i mean by freedom is the rights of the people and how our millitary doesnt kill good citizens however huge business's are ruining our economy and the rights of the people .

  89. A.... M....

    @noodlelova3 But its also a country where huge social injustices go on everyday. And although its free compared to say Iran doesn't mean it can't get a lot more free and equal (like how big business funds politicians campaigns so the corporations get more say in government than the common people).

  90. T.... S....

    I love the guitar tone and riffs in this album

  91. H.... ....

    I didnt realize these guys were from Portage La Prarie, Manitoba. I'm from Winnipeg(where they're based now), only an hour away =P

  92. L.... c....

    @fighisver
    come down man i was high

  93. M.... D....

    This sucks just sayin afterall this is a free country

  94. F.... ....

    @Gool349 why do people say that? have you ever listened to nofx? he sounds NOTHING like him...at all

  95. L.... R....

    @JZW444 learn to spell before trying to make an argument

  96. f.... ....

    Yaaaaaay nationalism

  97. n.... g....

    @JZW444 i have a feeling you dont know what an anarchist is. that's fine if you love you're country but you can't support everything they do just because it's the country you're from.
