Sapphie - Stars & Stripes Lyrics

Stranger pulls into town
As the hero goes for a walk
And everything in between
Is just some idle talk
A wilted petal
On a rose
And that is just the way the story goes
A big ol' scar
Down the center of your back
A daily reminder of all the things you lack

We got Stars and Stripes in our eyes
When will we wake
And realize
When just one is pushed aside
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall

Two best buddies
Barrel down the road
That's how they tell you that the stories go
Did they just graduate
Or did they rob a bank
The enemy is always closer than you think
A looming feeling
Of impending doom
That that damn story will be over soon

We got Stars and Stripes in our eyes
When will we wake
And realize
When just one is pushed aside
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall

Girl meets boy
And they take off their clothes
That's how they tell you
That the story goes
The one you love will
Send you Straight to Hell
Thoughts and prayers
And wishes well
Well the boy ships off to war
She sends him her locks
Then one year later
He returns home in a box

We got Stars and Stripes in our eyes
When will we wake
And realize
When just one is pushed aside
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall

Georgie chopped down
The cherry tree
And Tommy fell in love
With Sally
These are myths
Everybody knows
It's how they teach you that
The story goes
But all those stories in your
History book
Are really fairytales
If you take a look

We got Stars and Stripes in our eyes
When will we wake
And realize
When just one is pushed aside
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall Down Down Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
We All Fall Down
