Story Behind The Song
By D?Morr (Duane Morris)
In Response to the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Hijacking of 4 US Airplanes in which 2 (1 American Airline Flight 11 Boeing 757 & 1 United Flight 767) were intentionally struck into the World Trade Center in New York costing over 5000 lives and toppled the ?twin towers? both being 110 stories high. Another hijacked plane plummeted into the Pentagon killing over 100. The 4th hijacked plane in which I saw turn from west to southeast over Cleveland which later crashed into an empty field in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Jeremy Gleck and two others spoiled the attempt to ram the plane into the White House or Capital Building.

NYC, DC and PA
Our nation will stand for you
On the 11th day
There was a big disgrace
Coming from the east
From the terror beast
Our Beloved landmark
WTC
I?m sad to say
Crumpled NYC
CHORUS: Come on America I pledge allegiance to the flag
Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On
We?re gonna get it on now
To those who strike fear
Putting it in high gear
Know that your caboose
Is being used
Putting innocent lives
Lives on the line
In the name of God
That ain?t right
CHORUS: Come on America I pledge allegiance to the flag
Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On
We?re gonna get it on now
To you Osama Osama
To you Osama Bin Laden
We?re Gonna Get Ya
To you Osama
And the Nations that harbor you
If you thought that evil
is the way out
America will win
the final bout
Because we come
in the name of Peace
It won?t be done
until terror has ceased
CHORUS: Come on America I pledge allegiance to the flag
Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On
We?re gonna get it on now
Bush is coming near
I?m sure your ears hear
Troops are ready
To strike Your little rear, Dear
We stand for freedom
We stand for peace
We stand for nations
Who stands for any of these
CHORUS: Come on America I pledge allegiance to the flag
Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On
We?re gonna get it on now
FDNY
FEMA
UAL
And AA
NYC
DC
And you in PA
Loved ones in DC PA & NYC
Grace will cover you
Like you never knew
Trust in your commander
Trust in your God
That we will smoke them out
And make your nation proud
CHORUS: Come on America I pledge allegiance to the flag
Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On
We?re gonna get it on now
Instrumental Solo
CHORUS: Come on America I pledge allegiance to the flag
Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On Come On
We?re gonna get it on now
Families Who Lost
Nations prays your gain
No one can realize any of your pain
Other Verses
We prayed yesterday, tomorrow we seize
Come on America
The blood is on their hands
Vengence is mine says the Lord
God may have grace on you but we certainly won?t (per Senator John McCane)
Alternate verses
If you think that evil
Is the way out
Justice will prevail and
Terror will surely stop
Our troops have no fear
Our allies like Britain & Pakistan are already there
We will avenge the blood
Blood left on your hands
Cause we care about
Our people and our great land
