Bumper Of My SUV

I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car

Says United

States Marines

And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me

Does she think she knows what

I stand for

Or the things that

I believeJust by looking at a sticker for the

U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my

SUVSee, my brother

Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now

Our dad was in the

Navy during

VietnamDid his duty then he got out

And my grandpa earned his purple heart

On the beach of

NormandyThat's why

I've got a sticker for the

U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my

SUVBut that doesn't mean that

I want war

I'm not Republican or

DemocratBut

I've gone all around this crazy world

Just to try and better understand

And yes, I do have questions

I get to ask them because

I'm freeThat's why

I've got a sticker for the

U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my

SUV'Cause

I've been to

Hiroshima and

I've been to the

DMZI've walked on the sand in

BaghdadStill don't have all of the answers

I needBut

I guess I wanna know where she's been

Before she judges and gestures to me'

Cause she don't like my sticker for the

U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my

SUVSo I hope that lady in her mini-van

Turns on her radio and hears this from me

As she picks up her kids from their private school

And drives home safely on our city streets

Or to the building where her church group meets

Yeah, that's why

I've got a sticker for the

U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my

SUV
