The Red White And Blue As Worn By Mr. Bones

People accuse Mr. Bones of being unpatriotic,
that’s idiotic, he’s not going to ignore, war,
cops killing Chicanos, killing blacks, state-sponsored injustice.

People accuse Mr. Bones of being unpatriotic,
but, you know, Mr. Bones holds his country
to a higher standard, let France do what France does,

let Mexico do what Mexico does,
let Korea, Norea, Borea, Yorea,
do want they want, but, Mr. Bones holds his country

to a very high standard, all our documents agree,
every man was created equal, let’s make them equal,
no man is above the law, not even cops and Presidents,

children are equal, women are equal,
let’s practice what we preach, what we teach,
it’s within reach, stretch your arms out, reach,

People accuse Mr. Bones of being unpatriotic,
yet this Fourth of July he flies Old Glory,too-----
but, he doesn’t just pay it lip service!
