Текст песни: The Flag Is Waving You + перевод

With the skin of your people between your teeth

And a blood on the street that needs release

And a fear in your bed that won’t let you sleep

And the streets are filled with ruins

And the streets are filled with fools

And no one knows what to do

So you follow the man with the prettiest truth

But the flag is waving you

Hand on your heart and one hand in your sleep

And you’re watching the war from the stadium seats

And you’re scared of the things that you eat and you breathe

But the screen will sing to you

And the screen will pull you through

And you’ll follow the song with the prettiest tune

And the anthem’s playing you

'Cause here comes the trick, here comes the curse

Fire doesn’t stop where fire burns

You’re sewing your piece from the skin of a corpse

And things don’t get even, they just get worse

But you must think it hurts

Your government’s your church

Shielding your eyes from an uglier world

Too large to trap in verse

Well, the city that never sleeps falls asleep

And the road is a wreck and the wreck is a dream

And the dream is a body that’s trying to weep

And the body’s a nightmare that’s waiting to leap

And the lights come circling through

Come circling through the ruins

And the lights know what they’re doing

To move you keep you from moving

So you’ll follow the show with the prettiest news

But the show is watching you

The anthem’s playing you

The war is winning you

And the flag is waving you
