I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car<br />
Says United States Marines<br />
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me<br />
Does she think she knows what I stand for<br />
Or the things that I believe<br />
Just by looking at a sticker for the U.S. Marines<br />
On the bumper of my SUV<br />
<br />
See, my brother Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now<br />
Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam<br />
Did his duty then he got out<br />
And my grandpa earned his purple heart<br />
On the beach of Normandy<br />
That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines<br />
On the bumper of my SUV<br />
<br />
But that doesn't mean that I want war<br />
I'm not Republican or Democrat<br />
But I've gone all around this crazy world<br />
Just to try and better understand<br />
And yes, I do have questions<br />
I get to ask them because I'm free<br />
That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines<br />
On the bumper of my SUV<br />
<br />
'Cause I've been to Hiroshima and I've been to the DMZ<br />
I've walked on the sand in Baghdad<br />
Still don't have all of the answers I need<br />
But I guess I wanna know where she's been<br />
Before she judges and gestures to me<br />
'Cause she don't like my sticker for the U.S. Marines<br />
On the bumper of my SUV<br />
<br />
So I hope that lady in her mini-van<br />
Turns on her radio and hears this from me<br />
As she picks up her kids from their private school<br />
And drives home safely on our city streets<br />
Or to the building where her church group meets<br />
Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines<br />
On the bumper of my SUV
