lyrics

People these days live in tents
They've had enough of this government
So he burned the flag on the dirt
This is the ballad of Jason Bargert

Jason came to protest
with a flag and a cigarette
lighter for all to see
On every newspaper in the country
What is it to protest?
Is it to sit all day on the grass?
To be a revolution
It needs a swift kick in the ass

People these days live in tents
They've had enough of this government
So he burned the flag on the dirt
This is the ballad of Jason Bargert

The cops came to check out the fire
But Jason was no liar
He took responsibility
I burned that damn flag said he
I burned it for love of country
A country controlled by money
I stand against Wall Street
And I'll do it again proudly

People these days live in tents
They've had enough of this government
So he burned the flag on the dirt
This is the ballad of Jason Bargert

So the cops had Jason arrested
Tried to make him look like an idiot
Everyone wants an apology
But Jason just wants to be free
A man loves his country
A man loves his cause
Even if it's a mistake
Jason has got some balls

People these days live in tents
They've had enough of this government
So he burned the flag on the dirt
This is the ballad of Jason Bargert
