This is my 4th of July Anthem! About 12 years ago when I 1st heard this song I made sure I listened to it every 4th of July. If you read the lyrics then you know why. I know we are still only in may but I want to celebrate early in exposing America for what it truly is. Punk Rock FTW! :-D
It actually scares me seeing how people are glorifying Trump, someone who openly degraded women and stereotyped people by their ethic background, but this comment section really gave me some faith in humanity again. So thank you fellow anarchist! 😊
@@JiHottist Bush sure as fuck bothered me, and the present day attempt to whitewash his administration's legacy is insanely disgusting. Maybe OP wasn't old enough to have had an informed opinion of much of Bush's presidency at that time, but either way I don't see what your point is.
Wasn't Trump the one that helped negotiate nearly a half dozen peace deals in the middle east? In comes Biden and and rest is history. Being punk means thinking for yourself.
Their old stuff will always mean a lot to me, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say it sorta rings hollow now after being told you must be vaccinated to attend an anti flag show a few years back…
It's always interesting to hear the religion speak of the stripes incurred while disregarding all the stripes the religion brought with it to this continent. The blood runs thick with those lashes. It's also amazing how they've made an idolized symbol rather than absolute shame of the pain and suffering of those who suffered with their hands and backs.
This song's meaning has never been more true than it is now. Edit 11/8/17: A year ago since I made this comment. Still stand by it. Edit 5/24/18: NFL passes a rule penalizing players who kneel for the anthem. Fuck off. Edit 7/4/2019: Yep the USA still sucks lol
normaly I would say, bands like these are pseudopunk bands BUT anti flag's lyrics are so amazing so this is punk rock in his roots!! freedom for the world! sorry my bad englisch!
I love this song and all of Anti flag's songs. This song is supposed to be not only for entertainment but this song says the true history of America and how some people actually think of it. Also when they say "Don't fly those stripes those star s and stripes for me" it's saying that this band doesn't want to be part of America's horrible yet true history. I agree with the song cause when you think about it we stole this land from innocent Native Americans ,and we have become more greedy and more of a monster over the years. All of Anti flag's songs are to explain the truth.
Gonna play this song over and over today since its the 4th of July! Don't fly those stripes those stars and stripes for me! For me! I wonder what kind of world we would be living in today if the Indian's weren't all slaughtered and if their land was not stolen. Guess we will never know :'-(
@LyricsForAll88 My dad is a soldier and doesn't want to kill. My friends dad is a soldier but does want to kill. The difference? My dad is a man, while hers is a monster. He was a monster before he went off he was a trained scared monster when he came back. I get the feeling that Anti-flag gets that with the whole "don't confuse the war with the warrior." the monster is always in war, my dad was able to leave it.
You're right! From Wikipedia: 'The word "Anarchy" comes from the ancient Greek ἀναρχία, anarchia, from ἀν an, "not, without" + ἀρχός arkhos, "ruler", meaning "absence of a leader", "without rulers").'
@makemegood5two Just curious, but where the hell do you go to school? When I was in high school...around 13 years ago...no one really made a fuss about those of us who either refused to stand, or refused to hold their hand over their heart...there weren't too many of us that refused, but still....no one got in trouble for it, OR at least I never did...I apologize that you have to go through that. So intolerant...So sad...
I've never said the pledge of Allegiance after i found out what i was saying now i sit there and flick off the flag when the people are standing for the anthem/pledge
@MrLmevancoe think about if someone barged into yer fuckin house killed yer family and before the killed you or forced you to leave explained they were just "expanding territory"
Welcoming with open arms and, with open hearts In the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out This country named "america", is built on graves Of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place The word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..." Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me... For me! It's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent To rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests" The 3rd world is a modern day playground, for multinational companies And the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies Their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..." Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me They Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me At little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads: "to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing Hostile indians away... ' And there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves When they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!" Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me They Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me Don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...

pretty much all punk bands think this way if you like this band you should try listening to rise against, authority zero, and rage against the machine, they all have good messages :D
actually it means no masters but Anarchy is basically true non-polluted Democracy. It is to say that me and you are both equals and as so i should not be able to tell you what to do, but that we can come to an consensus on what we want by democratically working together (or at least that is my understanding)
You've love Rise Against then. "Would God bless a murder of the innocents? Would God bless a war based on pride? Would God bless a money-hungry government? No. Would God bless our ineffective court system? God bless the sweatshops we run? Would God bless America? NO!"- Rise Against (Blood-Red, White & Blue) "I have an American Dream but it involves Black Masks and Gasoline." - Rise Against (Black Masks and Gasoline) Also check out the lyrics to State of the Union,Hero of War, Survivor Guilt etc
This reminds me of those of us who refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance back in school. You may not agree with our actions, and that's cool...that is your right, and my refusal to hold my hand to my heart was my right. I DID however, stand with the rest of the class, just out of respect...
@peumanza if im not mistaken, doesn't brazil use the same three branches of government and abide by the same checks and balances amongst them? and isn't the brazillian constitution's main influence america's constitution? and isn't your country also divided amongst political party? i do not see where you are coming from with your comment because without america, your country's government would be a fascist regime
Look if you don't like Anti Flag or punk then y r u here it's almost like these people hav no one else to complain to or brag about how they proudly served in the military haters just need to leav us alone
1. Anarchy and Anarchism are not synonyms. 2. I have studied (it) quite a bit. So: 3. Please provide some links / titles, where your statement regarding Individual Anarchism is synonymous with anti-capitalism. And while you're at it, maybe something that supports your anarcho-communist principle that capitalism == hierarchy? And I mean from sources not spoiled by the communist misconceptions. Thanks!
@LyricsForAll88 let me start by saying that i agree with Anti-flag's message completely, however their song "No war without the warrior" pretty much states their hate for warriors as well as war. They make a point as well, if we were in the midst of a draft I could understand, but there are people who willing signed up to go and spend their lives killing for a living. I don't care what anyone says that is wrong.
Anarchy refers to a country or social structure without leaders. It is derived from the same root as monarchy, meaning one ruler. It has nothing to do with discrimination.

Damn I used to love anti-flag in like 7th grade lol. Brings back memories still some of my favorite punk basslines.
I saw these guys in pittsburgh two nights ago, one of the most high energy bands I've ever seen. simply incresible.
Club laga? I saw them many times
anti-flag is a great punk band and their lyrics mean alot

To bad the game is kinda crappy, don't get me wrong it's fun every now and again but I mean compared to the old games it's really stiff.
This is one of the best songs in my opinion on soundtrack of thps5
I'm too drunk for metal so I am listening to punk rock, my mind is BLOWN!
Flashback to Long Beach Skatepark😎
My conservative dad: singing this

I recommend bad religions lyrics aswell
“You’re free to do as we tell you”
This song is my 4th of July Anthem. I've been playing the fuck out of this song around 4th of July time for over the past 10 years. It's tradition :-D
Sounds very THPS to me, I'm happy
Why did they have to remove this song from Spotify?! 😢

I like how they pointed out the Native American genocide in the lyrics. I wonder when the US will overcome the "denial" stage of this genocide.
I'm going to play this all day when the 2016 election is over.
That's pretty edgy.
well we know how that ended for you yanks. love from Canada

like this band almost as much as i like rise against
He brought up what has be ingrained in my mind my whole life... the genocide of all my indigenous brethren
@christopherTsmith not doing the pledge convinced me to listen to this
i opened my arms.
sounds like garf out of waynes world
