about

A radical call to speak your mind and stand strong in the face of a crowd who would use the flag as a gag.

lyrics

I was walking down the road
minding my own,
singing along to the radio;
when a suit-and-tie came up to me.
He said, “hey boy get a job;
join the force of the working kind”.
I said, “No. I think I’ll keep my soul.”
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...to think for yourself.
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...to want something else.
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...but I don’t care,
'cause I’m a radical and I speak my mind.
Then the suit-and-tie gave me a speech.
“Why don’t you join our family?
All you gotta do is walk in line.”
But the line that he’s walking
leans to the right;
too many guns, too many fights.
I know how many men have lost their lives.
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...to think for yourself.
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...to want something else.
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...but I don’t care,
'cause I’m a radical and I speak my mind.
After two long hours of talking hard,
politics left to the right.
He asked me, “Son, do you lean to the left?”
I said, “No sir, I don’t lean.
I stand up straight and I walk my way.
It ain’t the left wing or the right wing;
it’s the whole damn bird!”
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...to think for yourself.
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...to want something else.
It’s UNAMERICAN! ...but I don’t care,
'cause I’m a radical and I speak my mind.
