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
