Questioning your countries foreign policy doesn't make you unpatriotic.
We’re the one’s having to pick up the pieces,
We’re the ones who will have to clean up after “nationality and pride” fail. A long with all the other propaganda faeces.

Remind me again, what is it for?
You were a “man of God”, yet you clearly only answer to that flag on your windows and doors.

That same flag that has or is creating problems from Sudan to Ecuador?
That same flag that’s made ¾ of the world poor?

Are you still under the illusion that that flag is worth more?
A couple of stitches and fabric and you’re ready to go to war?

To uphold “democracy”?
Get rid of “pirates” at sea?

Sort out your university fee’s?
Help make “oppressed” individuals “free”?

Ignore innocent and your own flesh’s plea?
Take innocent lives and your own, all for the fat cats “road to peace”.

You’ll see Son. In your own time.
You’ll realise one day, that flag ain't worth a dime.
