Flag Lyrics by It Bites

Map of the Past

0

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?
