Flag - It Bites

Man on an island thinks he’s all alone

Year after year he dreams of what was home

And people apparently need something more

Never prepared when it appears ashore

Flag, why are you waving

This flag — what are you waving for?

Flag, why are we waving

This flag — or are we drowning not waving?

Man on an island staring out to sea

Flag at the ready, marking territory

People apparently take what they can

Man on an island draws a line in sand

Flag, why are you waving

This flag — what are you waving for?

Flag, why are we waving

This flag — or are we drowning not waving?

Man what you are waiting for?

Pick up the gun, show them who’s stronger

You, shadow as tall as trees

So small inside, a frightened child

This primal fear that led you here

Is building up inside

Man on an island lost but not alone

Seventy thousand people call it home

People apparently stare out to sea

Man on an island wishes he was free

Flag, why are you waving

This flag — what are you waving for?

Flag, why are we waving

This flag — or are we drowning not waving?
