in 1956 things were changing
the federal government was rearranging
started to put an end to segregation
you can't do that to our proud confederation
state of Georgia, southern pride
we'll raise a flag so we can defy
they can't tell us what to do
racism stitched in red, white, and blue
how can you justify, what they can't deny
the flag of our state, a banner of hate
separate is not equal, our state flag sucks!
1997 and things ain't changed a bit
the flag's on a pole and we're all under it
racial harmony is what they preach
but the flag's raised high, out of reach
its our heritage, is what they tell us
but i really think that our memories fail us
we can't remember 40 years of lies
and over our state the banner still flies
the governor won't listen, he fears for re-election
politics run amuck, for the almighty buck
separate is not equal, our state flag sucks!
it's our heritage
it's our heritage
HERITAGE OF HATRED!! |
