Red, White and Blue

The gamblers lament It so quickly came and went Everything spent Nothing left but regret Fleecing the future, where to begin? Stuck on this island at the hands of a whim Of a petulant child, a million miles away In a dangerous game The special relationship One nation under capital Fascists descend the streets Newspapers make it rational I'm not surprised mate, really, are you? A bone for war, and for red, white, and blue A petulant child, a million miles away In a dangerous game All accomplishments will fade away Are they ours? Lay your flowers for the lives you've slain All abandonment of a common cause All for profit, slay the boffin all for cheap applause Salute your flag, falsify your god Rotting in vaults, make amends, there's still time for remorse To change course
