How can I play my song today
What can I say, that’s not been said
I can’t stay silent, won’t obey
I don’t play by your rules the game has changed
Black flag-
flying on the bridge tonight, I’m here to make a stand
I'm gonna blow my horn, shine a light
of hope across this land
Are those cheers that I hear
Or just white noise in my ears
Ain't it clear that a change is near
Can’t you see we’ve got no fear
Black flags-
in the streets they’re flowin’, like a human hurricane
Sticks and stones can break our bones,
but this storm can’t be contained
Like a wild wind blows, like water flows
Through cracks in a stone, it never stops or slows
Like the king’s new clothes, the truth exposed
The wicked man knows, he’ll reap just what he sowed
Black flags -
flying from north to south,
from the mountains to the shore
Beat us, cheat us, try to keep us out,
but we won’t turn back no more
