Verse 1 (Male) I took the oath, wore the boots, came home to the land I swore to defend Now I’m watchin’ them raise another banner on the courthouse steps like it’s already theirs to spend They call it heritage, call it light on the stone But these buildings ain’t their embassy — they belong to the people, and we ain’t handin’ ‘em over Pre-Chorus (Female) You don’t raise another country’s colors on American soil Unless the president says it serves us both — and this ain’t that This is our house Chorus (Both – Male & Female together) This is our ground, this is our flag Paid for in blood by the ones who never came back You don’t get to plant your symbols where the citizens stand We don’t do “Muslim flag day” on Uncle Sam’s land If you’re gonna live here, then live here like you mean it But these buildings belong to the ones who defend it Our ground, our flag — and it’s stayin’ that way Verse 2 (Male) They lit the Freedom Tower green like we were supposed to cheer Forgot what happened there or maybe they just don’t give a damn what we hold dear Veterans see the pattern, we know a power move when we see one It ain’t inclusion when it’s shoved in every face under the same damn sun Pre-Chorus (Female) You can pray in your house, you can keep your own ways But City Hall ain’t your stage and the flag here stays Chorus (Both – Male & Female together) This is our ground, this is our flag Paid for in blood by the ones who never came back You don’t get to plant your symbols where the citizens stand We don’t do “Muslim flag day” on Uncle Sam’s land If you’re gonna assimilate, then assimilate in But these buildings belong to the ones who defend Our ground, our flag — and it’s stayin’ that way Bridge (Male lead, Female harmonies) They say we’re ignorin’ it, but it’s already here Europe’s got the warnings — the enclaves, the fear Grooming scandals, no-go zones, the cost they tried to hide Now they’re tryin’ the same play on the ground that we died for And somebody took that flag down — good Because this ain’t their country to claim one building at a time Final Chorus (Both – Male & Female together, bigger) This is our ground, this is our flag We’ll take it back if we have to, every inch that we had No religious decree, no foreign banner wave On the buildings that belong to the free and the brave Assimilate or stand aside — the choice is yours to make But the flag on American soil ain’t up for debate Outro (Both) Our ground… our flag… And we’re takin’ care of it.
