Cello and guitar duo Aaron Nathans & Michael G. Ronstadt have a new single, and it is one with a pretty direct message. It’s a story about immigrants who fought for democracy. It’s a story about inclusivity. It’s a story about a diversity of opinion and a detestation for those who believe they have the right to speak for all. These are the words
“This flag don’t stand for money, this flag don’t stand for guns
This flag is not a weapon for the ones who speak in tongues
It don’t stand for a party, or for a five-point plan
I will not bow to idols and I won’t rise for a man
This flag is for our country, us and them and you
When I rise up singing, I sing this is my flag too
You can fly it from your truck, with a bumper sticker creed
You can fly it from your boat, above “don’t you tread on me”
You can sell it in your ad, or show off your tattoo
But that’s not what the flag’s about, this flag is my flag too“
and this is the song:
