The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night 
Won't keep those evil empires from your door 
The union jack strapped across your back 
Has lost some of the strength it had before
The families of your men can't be ignored 

This land of green [bad word] so obscene 
chance to have a history to tell 
fairy tale nation up for sale 
They sell in San Francisco oh so well 
Put your bullets down you may as well 

The ground on which you stand 
Not owned by any man 
Oh this fragile peace 
So close your weary eyes 
That old romantic prize 
It never can be reached 
It never can be
Oh tell me that you love me

The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night 
Won't keep those evil empires from your door
fairytale nation up for sale 
The families of your men can't be ignored 
Put your bullets down now I implore

The ground on which you stand 
Not owned by any man 
Oh this fragile peace 
So close your weary eyes 
That old romantic prize 
It never can be reached 
It never can be reached
It never can be reached

It can’t be reached
The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night
Won't keep those evil empires from your door
