《Stars And Stripes》是美國朋克樂隊Anti-Flag於2001年發行的抗議風格歌曲，收錄於專輯《Underground Network》。作品以朋克搖滾為載體，聚焦對美國殖民歷史與當代政策的批判。
歌曲從殖民時期原住民遭受的種族滅絕切入，揭露現代跨國資本與政府政策對第三世界的經濟壓迫，通過解構國旗符號將其轉化為貪婪與暴力的象徵。歌詞以“小巨角戰役紀念碑”等歷史意象強化對霸權主義的否定，重複的“別為我升起星條旗”呼應激進節奏，形成對帝國主義體制的持續聲討。

歌曲歌詞
Welcoming with open arms and
With open hearts
In the end they found their arms in shackles
And their hearts torn out
This country named "america"
Is built on graves
Of the natives who lived here before
Genocide took place
The word "america" means "freedom" - as in
"free to kill the free..."
Don't fly those stripes
Those stars-and-stripes for me
For me don't fly those stripes
For me... For me!
It's the same today as then
As U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
To rid the native insurgence in Mexico
And any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
The 3rd world is a modern day playground
For multinational companies
And the tax dollars we're forced to pay
Fund these heartless U.S. policies
Their explanation...
"it's national interest, national security..."
Those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
They Stand for greed
They stand for hate, for nothing i believe
At little big horn national cemetery
There's a monument that reads:
to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing
Hostile indians away... '
And there's a flag there flying high
Over the fallen killers' graves
When they call on me to die for them
I'll say... "not me!"
Those stars-and-stripes for me...
They stand for hate
For nothing i believe...
