    Red White and Blue

     Red   White   and   Blue    if   They   only  knew
    that the colors  they  fought  to give and defend
    would  be  for  not  but   dancing   and  drinking
    and  watermelon  and  hot dog  eating contests
    Red   White   and   Blue    if   They   only  knew
    that the colors  of  the  sparks  in  the  sky now
    mean naught  but the  chance  to play  with fire
    and  stay up  all  night  laughing   and  partying
    Red   White   and   Blue    if   They   only  knew
    that the colors   they   fought  for  are forgotten
    Shame   on
    you who do
    not    know
    and   party
    away    the
    day  Shame
    on you who
    do       not
    know   why
    we     have
    this     day
    Shame   on
    you who do
    not    know
    Red   White
    and     Blue

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
