Don't Tread On Me

from Just Another Pigeon by Michael Psycho

/

lyrics

My patriotism isn’t from my being vain

My principles don’t come from my financial gains

I am American and proud of what we’ve got

I won’t let anyone try to tell me I’m not



If anyone thinks they can take this country from me they are wrong

If they dare step over the line then they’ll get stopped before too long

I know I’m not alone and there are other out there besides me

Who will not tolerate intolerance and fight to keep us free



There’s no accomplishment from brute force alone

Just fill up a bunch of body bags to send back home

My right to speak my mind about the government

Is no less vital if my views are in dissent



To try to question any loyalty in me is their mistake

If anything their hate’s disguised as loving freedom and that’s fake

And I respect the flag and all the sacrifice for which it stands

I won’t turn it into a new swastika for some fascists’ plans



Some day

We will have

A land of liberty

And justice once again…



Some one

Must take a stand

So we can live as free

Americans again…



Don’t tread on me

Don’t dare tread

Don’t tread on me
