Billy Talent - Red Flag
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow donÂ’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Well IÂ’ve never seen us act like this,
Our only hope is the minds of kids,
And theyÂ’ll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth,
ItÂ’s only time before they tighten the noose,
And then the hunt will be on for you
The red flag waving never meant the sameÂ…
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow donÂ’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like the smallest bee packs a sting,
Like a pawn checkmates a king,
WeÂ’ll attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if thereÂ’s a wall,
DonÂ’t be afraid to slip and fall,
Speak for yourself, or theyÂ’ll speak for you
The red flag waving never meant the sameÂ…
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow donÂ’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like a fire, donÂ’t need water
Like a jury, needs a liar
Like riot, donÂ’t need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr
We donÂ’t need them!
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow donÂ’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday
We donÂ’t need them!
