[Chorus]

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

[Verse 1]

Well, I've never seen us act like this

Our only hope is the minds of kids

And they'll show us a thing or two

Our only weapons are the guns of youth

It's only time before they tighten the noose

Then the hunt will be on for you

[Pre-Chorus]

The red flag waving never meant the same, no

The red flag waving never meant the same

[Chorus]

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

[Verse 2]

Like the smallest bee packs a sting

Like a pawn checkmates a king

We'll attack at the crack of dawn

Build a ladder if there's a wall

Don't be afraid to slip and fall

Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you

[Pre-Chorus]

The red flag waving never meant the same, no

The red flag waving never meant the same, go

[Chorus]

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

[Bridge]

Like a fire, don't need water

Like a jury, needs a liar

Like a riot, don't need order

Like a madman, needs a martyr

We don't need them, we don't need them

We don't need them, we don't need them

We don't need them, we don't need them

We don't need them, we don't need them

[Chorus]

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

The red flag waving never meant the same

The kids of tomorrow don't need today

When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain (We don't need them, we don't need them)

The red flag waving never meant the same (We don't need them, we don't need them)

The kids of tomorrow don't need today (We don't need them, we don't need them)

When they live in the sins of yesterday (We don't need them, we don't need them)

[Outro]

We don't need them
