"No Flag" Lyrics

I've got no religion

I've got no philosophy

I've got a head full of ideas and words that don't seem to belong to me

You may be joking but I don't get the gag

I sense no future but time seems to drag

 

No time for this kind of love

No flag waving high above

No sign for the dark place that I live

No God for the damn that I don't give

 

I've got no illusions

I've had no epiphany

Why should anybody listen to me

She said I'm tearing up the sheets that your love letters stained

All of your magic powers have drained

 

No time for this kind of love

No flag waving high above

No sign for the dark place that I live

No God for the damn that I don't give

 

There's a line in the sand

A word or two in the aftermath

I'm an arrow that shoots up and down on an advertising graph

I could write you verses and recite more than one

But they're not worth the paper that they're written on

 

No time for this kind of love

No flag waving high above

No sign for the dark place that I live

No God for the damn that I don't give

 

We want everything and we don't want to share

Out-o space for the faces we fear

Look in the mirror and see who I used to be

Made out of plastic in a factory

 

No flag

No flag
