Raise Hell, Raise the Flag / Marc Ash

[Intro] Turn it up! Let it shake the walls! [Verse 1] Streetlights burn on a Friday night, Red-white-blue in the porch light, They say keep quiet, fall in line, Keep your head down, toe their line. But I was raised to speak my mind, Stand up straight and draw my line, You can hate the words I say— You don’t get to take my voice away! [Pre-Chorus] I won’t kneel and I won’t crawl, You can’t scare me into small. When that first chord splits the air, You’ll know exactly why I’m here! [Chorus] Raise hell! Raise the flag! Let the whole damn town hear! I won’t bow, I won’t break, I won’t disappear! Stars and stripes, fire in my veins, I’ll say it loud through the wind and rain: I’m still standing, still right here— Raise hell! Raise the flag! Middle finger in the air! [Verse 2] I don’t need their gold-star praise, Or their rules for how to behave. I vote red and I wear it proud, I won’t lose my voice to please a crowd. This country’s mine as much as theirs, I’ll stand my ground, I don’t scare. They can shout and they can glare— I’m not going anywhere! [Pre-Chorus] I won’t kneel and I won’t crawl, You can’t scare me into small. When that first chord splits the air, You’ll know exactly why I’m here! [Chorus] Raise hell! Raise the flag! Let the whole damn town hear! I won’t bow, I won’t break, I won’t disappear! Stars and stripes, fire in my veins, I’ll say it loud through the wind and rain: I’m still standing, still right here— Raise hell! Raise the flag! Middle finger in the air! [Bridge] Don’t tell me what to think! Don’t tell me what to say! I’ve heard your sermon long enough— Now get the hell out of my way! This is my home, this is my ground, I’ll make my own damn noise! You can shut your doors and shake your heads— You will not shut me up! [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Raise hell! Raise the flag! Let the whole damn town hear! I won’t bow, I won’t break, I won’t disappear! Stars and stripes, fire in my veins, I’ll say it loud through the wind and rain: I’m still standing, still right here— Raise hell! Raise the flag! Middle finger in the air! [Outro] Raise hell! Raise the flag! Middle finger in the air!
