We played cops and robbers in the streets around our house It was fun and games back then but it ain't fun now here in our town Just a bunch of kids skipping church and acting so cool But now we're lightning candles on a friday afternoon here in our town We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats here in our town We say yes ma'am and no ma'am we love we don't hate Here in our town, here in our town The only color we care about is that football jersey blue So I don't know who the hell that is up there on the news that ain't our town We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats here in our town We say yes ma'am and no ma'am we love we don't hate That world that's gonne crazy it don't have a place here in our town, here in our town We're better than this tougher than tough We might get knocked down but we get back up yeah We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats here in our town, our town We say yes ma'am and no ma'am we love we don't hate That world that's gonne crazy it don't have a place here in our town, here in our town yeah
