Testo Flag - Benefits
Testo della canzone Flag (Benefits), tratta dall'album Nails
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
Pour the funnies
Laugh at the foreigns
Drink your tea
Tell your kids everything is shit these days
Wave your fucking flag
Wave your fucking flag
Wave your fucking flag
Feel powerful, feel proud
Subjects or 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 out
Break that emergency glass
Parade forever
Make it meaningless
Bow down to that tatty flag
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Wave your fucking flag
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 towns 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 eh
Eh, eh, eh, eh
You're fucking broken
Your head's gone
Imagine some good old days you think existed
We deserve better than this
Your blood still runs red
Privilege won't save you
Eton won't save you
People who speak Latin will not save you
That stupid political humble
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-tania
Rule those foreign fucking waves
You can't even swim straight
Armbands on
You're getting dragged down
You're drowning in it all
Drowning in it all
That flag won't protect you forever
It'll sink in the twat
The colours are winning
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 fool
Wave your fucking flag
Wave your flag
Wave your flag
