Bent Left - Blood Stained Flag lyrics

Verse I: Dressed head to toe In fatigues of every shade Like the bristles of a broken broom Sent in to sweep up the mess we've made Our helmets keep our skulls from cracking But what about our minds Rugs woven of the fabric of war Let us tread upon the soiled surface of our times But the time bomb keeps on ticking chorus: well every heart beats true for the red black and blue for the bleeding and bruised and yes us this includes but i won't hide behind the stripes of a blood-stained flag Verse II: The war has been waged (A cultures been raped) The cause has been justified Standards democratically chosen By which all of our worlds people should abide And accounts grow (With d**h tolls) The business of war or the war of business The lives and the soles of oh so many Sold in someones personal interest Bridge: this carnage is a sickness infecting the immunity of unity how is violence the antidote to save lives, to end woes before fingers meet foreheads before we salute, before we obey it's our mission to shed light on who's manifested this war and for what gain cause someplace somewhere there's a profit to be made
