Halo Benders - "Bomb Shelter Part 2" lyrics
*** Complimentary Bomb Shelter Part 2 Ringtone ***
You know there in Washington
They got a monument covered with names
Names of folks they say gave their lives for their country
And we oughta honor them
The way I see it
They were just doing what they were told
Now, who I'd like to bestow my gratitude on
Is them free thinking folks of independent mind
I'd like to say -thank you
To all of you Vietnam era draft dodgers (And it's strange, but it made me happy)
And thank you to all you Gulf War military deserters (When I heard)
And I just want to give a big thanks to all of those (We won the war)
Americans out there who put their freedom on the line
As conscientious objectors and military resistors
All of you youngsters out there
All of you young men ages 18-22
You're probably wondering what you can do
To follow in the footsteps of the American way
And assert yourselves as mature individuals
You can decide your own future
I'm not gonna suggest you shouldn't register for the draft
That wouldn't be legal
They got a monument covered with names
Names of folks they say gave their lives for their country
And we oughta honor them
The way I see it
They were just doing what they were told
Now, who I'd like to bestow my gratitude on
Is them free thinking folks of independent mind
I'd like to say -thank you
To all of you Vietnam era draft dodgers (And it's strange, but it made me happy)
And thank you to all you Gulf War military deserters (When I heard)
And I just want to give a big thanks to all of those (We won the war)
Americans out there who put their freedom on the line
As conscientious objectors and military resistors
All of you youngsters out there
All of you young men ages 18-22
You're probably wondering what you can do
To follow in the footsteps of the American way
And assert yourselves as mature individuals
You can decide your own future
I'm not gonna suggest you shouldn't register for the draft
That wouldn't be legal
But why not take a cue from my buddy Sam
And register 10 times, 50 times, 100 times
There's no law against it
No law against a woman 18-22 registering 50 or 60 times
Or a man, or a woman 14 or 40
Registering for the draft 150 times
500 times
Just let them know what's on your mind
About all the bugaboo
Concerning folks burning the flag
I'd always learned that burning was the
Proper, respectful way to dispose of a flag
When its become obsolete and worn out its usefulness
Hell, being an American is all about getting things off of your chest
And saying your piece
A visual aid can come in mighty handy for getting your point across
So don't be using up all your matches and lighters
Wavin 'em at those big concerts
Save 'em for the streets
Where they can express your true feelings
And those of our founding fathers
God bless all you flag burning patriots
Exercising your rights as Americans
And register 10 times, 50 times, 100 times
There's no law against it
No law against a woman 18-22 registering 50 or 60 times
Or a man, or a woman 14 or 40
Registering for the draft 150 times
500 times
Just let them know what's on your mind
About all the bugaboo
Concerning folks burning the flag
I'd always learned that burning was the
Proper, respectful way to dispose of a flag
When its become obsolete and worn out its usefulness
Hell, being an American is all about getting things off of your chest
And saying your piece
A visual aid can come in mighty handy for getting your point across
So don't be using up all your matches and lighters
Wavin 'em at those big concerts
Save 'em for the streets
Where they can express your true feelings
And those of our founding fathers
God bless all you flag burning patriots
Exercising your rights as Americans
