Flag

[Verse 1] This place stinks of old wars Subservience, semi-final defeats God and flags Pulling your mask down for a fag You're a musty relic Hiding behind that tatty sheet Shouting, screaming, getting pulled back by your mates Stamping on cans, raw neck in the sun Dog water on tap What even are you? You've been had mate The Italian Job is on, sit down, shut up, quote the funnies Laugh at the foreigns, drink yer tea Tell the kids everything is shit these days [Refrain] Wave yer fucking flag Wave yer fucking flag Wave yer fucking flag [Verse 2] Feel powerful, feel proud Subjects oh subjects, we used to be this, we used to be that, we want it back But no-one is jealous, no-one cares, so wheel it all out Break that emergency glass, parade forever, make it meaningless Bow down to that tatty flag What does it mean? What does it mean? [Refrain] Wave yer fucking flag [Verse 3] You still hate your fucking neighbour, the clothes you wear are foreign anyway Expensive or cheap and your car is German and it's nice Good runner, decent mileage, reliable The other town down the road are all inbred you said, they all talk funny don't they, fucking weirdos Oh and that London eh, don't get me started, what a shithole ey, ey, ey? You're fucking broken, your head's gone Imagine some good old days you think existed We deserve better than this Blue blood still runs red [Verse 4] Privilege won't save you Eton won't save you People who speak Latin will not save you That stiff upper lip will crumble That silver spoon will be sold You'll be forgotten You're nothing to them, nothing Stop falling for their bullshit Throw those plastic chairs Puff out your chest Rule Bri-fucking-tannia Rule those foreign fucking waves You can't even swim straight Armbands on, yer getting dragged down, yer drowning in it all, drowning in it all That flag won't protect you forever, it'll sink, it looks worn The colours are running, wasn’t even made here It's all a lie This isn't politics, you're just holding a flag, you're just a fucking pole [Refrain] Wave yer fucking flag Wave your flag Wave your flag
