The Flag Is Waving You Lyrics
[Verse One]
With the skin of your people between your teeth
And a blood on the street that needs release
And a fear in your bed that won't let you sleep
[Bridge]
And the streets are filled with ruins
And the streets are filled with fools
And no one knows what to do
[Hook]
So you follow the man with the prettiest truth
But the flag is waving you
[Verse Two]
Hand on your heart and one hand in your sleep
And you're watching the war from the stadium seats
And you're scared of the things that you eat and you breathe
[Bridge]
But the screen will sing to you
And the screen will pull you through
[Hook]
And you'll follow the song with the prettiest tune
And the anthem's playing you
[Verse Three]
'Cause here comes the trick, here comes the curse
Fire doesn't stop where fire burns
You're sewing your piece from the skin of a corpse
And things don't get even, they just get worse
But you must think it hurts
Your government's your church
Shielding your eyes from an uglier world
Too large to trap in verse
Well, the city that never sleeps falls asleep
And the road is a wreck and the wreck is a dream
And the dream is a body that's trying to weep

And the body's a nightmare that's waiting to leap
And the lights come circling through
Come circling through the ruins
And the lights know what they're doing
To move you keep you from moving
[Bridge]
So you'll follow the show with the prettiest news
[Chorus]
But the show is watching you
The anthem's playing you
The war is winning you
And the flag is waving you
