I am your flag

Yes i'll be down your street again quite soon

and don't ignore me when i wave at you

for although i'm looking rather sad

i'm all you've ever really had

and when you're desperate, you will hold me

hold me to that.

took your hat off in Wisconsin

took your head in Vietnam

just dying to become a man

well i am your flag

spend all of my time just looking

for the big hit

so long getting there,

there's no time left to use it

so lets raise a smile of victory

impressed in dental surgery

when you need cover, you can use me

buried at sea

"freedom's" just a new deodorant

the money's spent and you've been had

you don't believe me? ask your dad

i am your flag

so as i fly so proudly you will see

that you won't dare break up this family

see the happy children on parade

with wooden guns that mother made

and see me dancing in the breeze

that blows them away

i ran into Northern Ireland

i ran into Afghanistan

dying to become a man?

i am your flag
