And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, it's getting old
I am wiser now, I know
But still as big a fool
Concerning you

A thousand people in the street,
Singing songs and carrying signs,
Mainly saying, "Hooray for our side."

This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like the ripples in a stream

No matter what the reason for
And your flag decal won't get you
Into heaven anymore
