Declare Independence Lyrics by Björk

Volta

2008

[Chorus]
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

[Refrain]
Justice

[Chorus]
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

[Refrain]
Justice

[Verse 1]
Start your own currency
Make your own stamp
Protect your language

[Refrain]
Justice

[Chorus]
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

[Bridge 1]
Make your own flag
Make your own flag
Make your own flag
Make your own flag
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)

[Chorus]
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

[Verse 2]
Damn colonists
Ignore their patronizing
Tear off their blindfolds
Open their eyes

[Chorus]
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

[Bridge 2]
With a flag and a trumpet
Go to the top of your highest mountain
And raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)
Raise your flag (Higher, higher)

[Chorus]
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

[Outro]
Raise the flag
