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
