lyrics

Tatters Of The Flag

we were full of nothing
our silent pain referred
hate between the factions
a distant gong i heard

we’d give no resistance
if they hauled us away
best no provocation
and fight another day

who could quite believe it
the tatters of the flag
plus i’d folded up my rage
and stuffed it in a bag

rumors of rebellion
an altar in the cold
kneeling on the cobblestone
near where the lies were sold

you had quite a skirmish
of course i could see why
then you lay down in the crowd
and pointed at the sky

chorus

dancing girls and speeches
my breath froze in the square
we were shouting slogans
the cameras everywhere

who could quite believe it
the tatters of the flag
plus i’d folded up my rage
and stuffed it in a bag
