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
