• Flag Day - Death By Stereo

Too many Florence Nightingales
Not enough Robin Hoods
Too many halos not enough heroes
Coming up with the goods
So you thought you'd like to change the world
Decided to stage a jumble sale
For the poor, for the poor
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Too many hands in too many pockets
Not enough hands on hearts
Too many ready to call it a day
Before the day starts
So you thought you'd like to see them healed
Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal
For the poor, for the poor
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean

Dear Miss America, you know I'm doing this for you
Hey Lady Liberty, I'm sacrificing all for you
And through this tragedy, I know you'll see me through
You never said the world was gonna tear me in two
You never said my blood would be red, white and blue
Is this why we pledge allegiance to you
No, the red is for the blood
No, the white is for the few
No, blue are the tears of fools
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
To watch them cower as they die
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
To watch the world as it dies
As they die
You never said that this world was gonna tear us apart
You never said that life would be this fuckin' hard
You never said the world would have to bleed for you
No, the red is for the blood
No, the white is for the few
No, blue are the tears of fools
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
To watch them cower as they die
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
To watch the world as it dies
As they die
You never said that this world was gonna tear us apart
You never said that life would be this fuckin' hard
You never said the world would watch us die, watch us die
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
It's a common thing
