And yes, I do have questions
'Cause I've been to Hiroshima and I've been to the DMZ
But that doesn't mean that I want war
On the bumper of my SUV
Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam
Just by looking at a sticker for the U.S. Marines
As she picks up her kids from their private school
On the bumper of my SUV
And my grandpa earned his purple heart
On the beach of Normandy
Before she judges and gestures to me
Or the things that I believe
Just to try and better understand
Or to the building where her church group meets
'Cause she don't like my sticker for the U.S. Marines
See, my brother Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now
On the bumper of my SUV
I'm not Republican or Democrat
Still don't have all of the answers I need
Did his duty then he got out
I get to ask them because I'm free
I've walked on the sand in Baghdad
Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
On the bumper of my SUV
That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
Turns on her radio and hears this from me
But I guess I wanna know where she's been
Does she think she knows what I stand for
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me
And drives home safely on our city streets
But I've gone all around this crazy world
So I hope that lady in her mini-van
That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
