Rudd, Xavier - Flag Lyrics






Coming with his own designs, his own style, his own awakening
He told me yes he can forgive, but he can never forget it
Weapons always close to hand, for he has seen too much hatred
Only weapon that he chooses is love, universal call now for justice

And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now [x2]
And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover your head, cover your back now
People keep on waving this flag, cover your head, cover your back now

You know, you know, I said praise Jandamarra and the Bunuba tribe
Building the resistance with strength and pride
Said no to domination of the ancient clans
Protection of his people and his tribal lands
Healing in the tunnel at his mothers right hand
Healing in the tunnel with the spirit of the land
Precedent set for the present day
Time to stand time to keep waving that flag
Cover my head, cover my back now

And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now
People keep on waving this flag and I'll cover your head, and I'll cover your back now
People keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now
Said people keep on waving this flag
(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)
People keep on waving this flag, cover my back now
(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)

Coming with my own designs, feeling strong, feeling able
Community is coming alive, loaded weapons are on the table

And I'll keep keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now
People keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now
People keep on waving this flag, and I'll cover your head and I'll cover your back now
People keep on waving this flag, cover my head, cover my back now
Said people keep on waving this flag
(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)
People keep on waving this flag, cover my back now
(keep waving, keep on waving that flag)

  66. G.... A....

    What is the meaning of the white flag in this video? Normally white flag associates with surrender.

    G.... A....

    Exactly.

    G.... A....

    It also symbolizes freeing ourselves from petty loyalties to arbitrary borders and nationalist identities.

    G.... A....

    Be careful what you wish for...Nationalism is Power of the People in a Democratic type society. Iraq, Egypt, Libya, etc...How are they doing now that their Nationalism is Gone?? Be careful what you wish for....

    G.... A....

    Very different if you look at it this way, American nationalism is the driving force that made those countries you mentioned have regime changes. American government wanted to spread their practice of "democracy" into other countries as a method of nationalism or cultural superiority. these countries after the regime change and assassination of their leader (Gaddafi, Sadam Hussein) worsened the problems in the middle east.. Great song either way though.

  67. E.... V....

    saludos desde colombia!
