I am your flag — текст песни (The English Beat)

Yes i`ll be down your street again quite soon
and don`t ignore me when i wave at you
for although i`m looking rather sad
i`m all you`ve ever really had
and when you`re desperate, you will hold me
hold me to that.

took your hat off in Wisconsin
took your head in Vietnam
just dying to become a man
well i am your flag

spend all of my time just looking for the big hit
so long getting there, there`s no time left to use it
so lets raise a smile of victory
impressed in dental surgery
when you need cover, you can use me
buried at sea

"freedom`s" just a new deodorant
the money`s spent and you`ve been had
you don`t believe me? ask your dad
i am your flag

so as i fly so proudly you will see
that you won`t dare break up this family
see the happy children on parade
with wooden guns that mother made
and see me dancing in the breeze
that blows them away

i ran into Northern Ireland
i ran into Afghanistan
dying to become a man?
i am your flag
