Lyrics
Shields
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
talk down to me, you know the way that i see things. you're all scum, all scum to me. talk down to me, because you're right about everything.
this flag keeping you from me tearing burned bridges down. keeping losers at bay, turn my back to your cause and keep the pride in my name, so fuck all of you, you're the fucking same. talk down to me.
the fact of it is the thing that's keeping you safe is the same fucking flag that you love to disgrace. the fact of it is, the thing that's holding me back, the colors you hate.
