Ragged Flag - Backyard Babies

I’ve traveled on road, air, sea and rail

I’ve floated through dark and good times

I witnessed a newborn

While burying my blackest thorn alive

I’ve crashed my head into debauchery

I promised yes in a church but we failed

I’ve been losing best friends

While seeing great ends come alive

I’m dodging the body bag

And hoisting the ragged flag

Of all the wars I had in me

Of all the wars I had in me

Locked the door but saved a key

Love, life, anxiety

It’s all got a price tag

You circle and zigzag

Sucking the last drag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Been living side by side with lies and loyalty

I’ve been hanging your Gods without proof

But I put it to rest

Yes, I did all my best and I’m alive

I’m dodging the body bag

And hoisting the ragged flag

Of all the wars I had in me

Of all the wars I had in me

Locked the door but saved a key

Love, life, anxiety

It’s all got a price tag

You circle and zigzag

Sucking the last drag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

'Cause all you wanna know

Is that you’re good to go

The keys are in the truck

Fuck off and wish me good luck

We are the ones that failed in everything

But we’re the sons that survived anything

You can’t pray a lie

First you live, then you die

And we’re alive

I’m dodging the body bag

And hoisting the ragged flag

Of all the wars I had in me

Of all the wars I had in me

Locked the door but saved a key

Love, life, anxiety

It’s all got a price tag

You circle and zigzag

Sucking the last drag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag

Hoisting the ragged flag
