Flag - Intellectual

[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

[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
