lyrics

Raise The Flag

My son, though you’re not old enough to vote
Pack your bag and get on the boat
In the name of freedom and peace
There’s a job for you overseas
Here’s a butter knife bayonet
And a wet tourniquet
Mind the fireworks overhead
And don’t step on the dead

We’ll patrol the skies and control the seas
Then we’ll scorch the earth and torch the trees
We will burn the fields and the factories
Then we’ll take the towns and seize cities
When everybody is on their knees
Then we’ll raise our flag and we’ll all be free

My son, though you’re not old enough to drink
There is no time to think
It’s a season of falling leaves
And grown men on their knees
There are submarines full of seas
There are parachutes full of trees
Mice and men that despise the trench
‘Cause they can’t stand the stench

We’ll patrol the skies and control the seas
Then we’ll scorch the earth and torch the trees
We will seize the radios and TVs
Then we’ll outlaw these insurgencies
And when everybody is on their knees
Then we’ll raise the flag; we’ll all be free

In the name of democracy
In the name of the land of the free
In the name of liberty
In the name of justice and peace
When everybody is on their knees
We will raise the flag and we’ll all be free
