Salute the Colours
I saw a man who's destined to become a king
A uniform and medals shining brightly
His mother's crown was all alone upon a chair
He spoke of politicians' life
Money for nothing, an accident of birth
Money for nothing, it's an age old curse
Flags wave salute the clouds
Stand up as they enter the room
Flags wave salute the colors
Revolution's coming soon
I met a man who can't afford to beat his home
Retired military who served this land
His once proud eyes were dark and they were filled with fear
He felt ashamed and simply walked away
No good for nothing, an accident of birth
No good for nothing, that's all he's worth
Flags wave salute the clouds
Stand up as they enter the room
Flags wave salute the colors
Barbarians at the gates
Flags wave salute the clouds
Stand up as they enter the room
Flags wave salute the colors
For those who died for you
Just like Marie Antonette
One day soon you may lose your head
Barbarians at the gates
Will not save you from disgrace
Someday soon they will rise
And you will face your lies
Fave your lies
Flags wave salute the clouds
Stand up as they enter the room
Flags wave salute the colors
Barbarians at the gates
Flags wave salute the clouds
Stand up as they enter the room
Flags wave salute the colors
For those who died for you
And if you stand for nothing
You'll fall for anything
Living in Orwell's world
