Take this order to everyone
Here's paper and pen, now take it down
Take it down, take it down now, take it down
Take this order to everyone
Every flag to half staff from now on
We'll raise them at dawn then lower them down
Take it down, take it down now, take it down
Every flag to half staff from now on
You planted it thinking you were on solid ground
But I'm cold as a gun, dull as that flag left in the sun
The loyal one is a stranger to nearly everyone
So take it down and let it all go quiet now
The one with your name, your colors, your pride, and all
The one with the snake, the stripes, the stars, and the skull
Take it down, take it down now, take it down
The one with your name your colors, your pride, and all
You planted it thinking you were on solid ground
I'm cold as a gun, dull as that flag left in the sun
The loyal one is a stranger to nearly everyone
So take it down and let it all go quiet now
