Yes i'll be down your street again quite soon
|
and don't ignore me when i wave at you
|
for although i'm looking rather sad
|
i'm all you've ever really had
|
and when you're desperate, you will hold me
|
hold me to that.
|
|
took your hat off in Wisconsin
|
took your head in Vietnam
|
just dying to become a man
|
well i am your flag
|
|
spend all of my time just looking for the big hit
|
so long getting there, there's no time left to use it
|
so lets raise a smile of victory
|
impressed in dental surgery
|
when you need cover, you can use me
|
buried at sea
|
|
"freedom's" just a new deodorant
|
the money's spent and you've been had
|
you don't believe me? ask your dad
|
i am your flag
|
|
so as i fly so proudly you will see
|
that you won't dare break up this family
|
see the happy children on parade
|
with wooden guns that mother made
|
and see me dancing in the breeze
|
that blows them away
|
|
i ran into Northern Ireland
|
i ran into Afghanistan
|
dying to become a man?
|
i am your flag
|
|
