Oh brother, man where are you
I am bucklin´ from the load
I have lost my eye for color
And my heart can´t see the road
Oh sister, come and catch me

´Cause my legs, their prime has past
I am breaking from the sorrow
And my faith is fadin´ fast
Mother, father, help me
I´m your flesh and blood and bone
Don´t you hear me
Can´t you see me
m I doomed to live alone

Without warmth or love or honor
Like a dog out on the street
Am I trash ´cause I can´t manage
Must I grovel at your feet

I´m the boy who fought your battles
And I´m the man who won your wars
Is it over?
Have you used me?

I´m no value anymore

I´m your mothers,
Wives, and daughters
I´m your fathers, husbands, sons
I´m the life´s blood of this country
I´m the hopeful precious ones

Am I nothing,
Am I no one
Once a fabric,
Now a rag
We treat people like they´re nothing
We´re not fit to fly,
Fit to fly
No, no, no - no, no, no

We´re not fit to fly-

Fit to fly a flag (no, no, no)
Join the Army
See the world
The Marine Corps
Join the Navy
We´re not fit to fly -
Fit to fly the flag
