LYRICS
If you use our flag as a sign of hate
There’s no debate. We’ll go irate.

Don’t wear our flag as a sign of hate
Unless thin ice you skate?
Don’t wear our flag as a sign of hate
Think it through… before it’s too late

We’d rather you wear a Swastika
Or Confederate Flag
Then to bring on the nausea
Putting our flag in that bag

If I could hate hate I would
If I could love everything… But, that’s what’s troubling
I can’t love hate at any rate

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about people getting upset on the social networks about banning students from wearing the US flag to a Cinco de Mayo:

A high school in Northern California wasn’t doing anything wrong when it asked students to turn their T-shirts with American flags inside out on Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican heritage celebration, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.

The court said that the school officials’ concern that star spangled T-shirts might provoke racial violence outweighed the student’s rights to freedom of expression, and that it was correct of the officials to prioritize campus safety. — TIME
