five for fighting
freedom never cries
I took a flag to a pawn shop For a broken guitar I took a flag to a pawn shop How much is that guitar I took a flag to a pawn shop I got me that guitar What's a flag in a pawn shop to me?  I saw a man on the TV In a mask with a gun A man on the TV He had a ten year old son I saw a man on the TV His son had a gun And he says that he's coming for me  I never loved the soldier until there was a war Or thought about tomorrow 'Til my baby hit the floor I only talk to God when somebody's about to die I never cherished freedom Freedom never cries  I wrote a song for a dead man To settle my soul A song for a dead man And now I'll never grow old I wrote a song for a dead man Now I'm out in the cold What's a song to a dead man to me?  I never loved the soldier until there was a war Or thought about tomorrow 'Til my baby hit the floor I only talk to God when somebody's about to die I never cherished freedom Freedom never cries  You can cry for her  Die for her  Lay down your life for her  Kiss and wave goodbye to her  Anything at all   You can cry for her  Die for her  Make up your mind to her  Anything at all, oh  There's a baby on the doorstep  Wailing away  There's a baby on the doorstep  Longing for the day  There's a baby on the doorstep  Who'd give his life to take  A flag to a pawn shop  A flag to a pawn shop   May he forget why he is crying some day
