I Want My Flag Back...
(3:42)
Lyrics
I remember it flyin over ballfields in June
Cotton candy skies and a cheap plastic tune
It didn’t ask questions about who you were
Just caught the wind and let freedom stir
Now it’s draped like a warning, a line in the sand
Waiving like it belongs to one kind of hand
Like the rest of us wandered in by mistake
Like the dream’s a thing they alone get to take
You wrapped it in anger
you dipped it in fear
You told half the country
“You don’t belong here”
I want my flag back
From the fists and the noise
From the slogans that shrink it
From the men being boys
It was never your weapon
It was never your throne
It was stitched for the many
Not claimed by the lone
I want my flag back
Let it mean what it said
Not just red for your outrage
But the blood that was shed
For the promise of justice
For the hope we once had
Yeah, I want my flag back
I want my flag back
The stars used to whisper
We’re equal somehow
Now they flicker like spotlights
On who is allowed
The stripes sang of rebels
Who challenged the throne
Now they’re lines in the sand
Sayin’ “stay in your zone”
The blue was for justice
Steady and wide
Now it’s bent into banners
That just pick a side
And white was the truth for
For the best we could be
Not what we are
But a promise to see
You don’t own the anthem
You don’t own the sky
You don’t get to tell me who’s American
Nice try!
I want my flag back
From the rage and the spin
From the loud little tyrants
Draped head to chin
It was never your costume
It was never your brand
It was sewn from an idea
Not stamped by your hand
I want my flag back
Let it breathe let it stand
For the tired and broken
For every last hand
That still reaches upward
Still believes we can be
Something bigger than power
Something closer to free
It flew through the fire
It flew through the flood
It's been carried by dreamers
And stained by their blood
It don't belong to a party
Or a preacher or a king
It belongs to the people
All people who sing
I want my flag back
Not the version you sold
Not the fear-wrapped illusion
Not the story retold
Give me justice and courage
Give me truth over spin
Give me all of the people
Not just those you let in
I want my flag back
And I'm taking it too
From the hands that would shrink it
From the lies dressed as truth
It was never your kingdom
It was never your crown
It's a flag for the many
And we're taking it down
Just to raise it back up
Just to raise it back up

Who Would Jesus Bomb...
(3:51)
"'Jordan reflects, "I was raised to believe Jesus loves everyone, but seeing how that message gets twisted to justify violence really pushed me to write this song." The episode delves into the troubling support for war among Christians, the manipulation by governments, and the importance of compassion and humanity. Jordan also highlights his project, Songs Not Bombs, which raises funds for Palestinian children.
Craig and Jordan discuss poignant lines from the song, such as, "Would Jesus bomb the atheist, the Muslim, or the Jew?" and "Would you still believe in Jesus if you found out he was brown?" These lines challenge listeners to reconsider their views on war, politics, and faith. This episode is a thought-provoking listen for anyone interested in these critical issues.'"
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If Jesus Christ came back today
Like you threaten he will
Which poor group of people
Do you think that he would kill?
Who would Jesus choose to starve
If you gave him the chance?
And if there was a genocide
Would he take a neutral stance?
[Chorus]
Who would Jesus bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims, or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself
"Well, what would Jesus do?"
[Verse 2]
Would he say "It's complicated"
And "there's sinners on all sides"?
Or would he say that "some people
They just deserve to die"?
If Christ the Savior rose again
Then on a sidewalk slept
Would you extend a hand to him
Or just watch where you stepped
[Chorus]
Who would Jesus Bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims, or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself
"Well, what would Jesus do?"
[Verse 3]
Would Jesus hate the Gay folks
Or the queer folks or the trans?
Would he suggest they end their lives
According to God's plans?
Would Jesus tell a homeless man
To get a fucking job?
Then turn his back on the poor
Would Jesus be a snob?
[Chorus]
Who would Jesus Bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims, or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do?"
[Verse 4]
Would Jesus vote Republican
Or would it be Democrat?
Would he be chanting 4 more years
Or wear a MAGA hat?
Would Jesus run for president
Or dictator or worse?
Would Jesus be the pastor
Of his own mega-church?
[Chorus]
Who would Jesus Bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims, or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"Well, what would Jesus do?"
[Verse 5]
Would Jesus build a border wall?
Would Jesus drive a tank?
Would Jesus own an arsenal?
Would Jesus run a bank?
Would Jesus feel safe in his skin
If he came to your town?
Or would you still believe in Jesus
If you found out he was brown?
[Chorus]
Who would Jesus Bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims, or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself
"Well, what would Jesus do?"
[Outro]
I want you to ask yourself
"Well, what would Jesus do?"
I want you to ask yourself
"Well, what would Jesus do?"
