Flags of War

S. Scott  ã 2005, BMI           Flags Of War.mp3

Sprouting all around, like weeds upon the lawn, Fluttering, strutting, we rustle up the brawn

Stars and Stripes liberty for some a friend, Red White and Blue, hatred, for some it means the end

Flags of war, everywhere, in the names of God

They only separate, we should think as one

 That entity of many names, She, He, It, They, Observing with a teary eye, handiwork in clay

Each side ranting, raging, self-righteous to the core, Chaos at home and away, deadly is the score

Bridge:

Leaders rant of evil acts by our enemies, Have the most to lose when Truth is revealed

Lies and guns, control our thinking, from the start, Have we forgotten how to live life from the Heart

Flags of war, everywhere, in the names of God

They only separate, we should think as one

 Lambskin glove covering, icy hand of steel, Church and State together, make a winning team

Greediness for dominance, legacy of Cain, An enemy within us, causes untold pain

Flags of war, everywhere, in the names of God

What can we give to live in a world with no flags at all
