Lyrics Ragged Flag - Backyard Babies

Ragged Flag

I’ve traveled on road, air, sea and rail
I’ve floated through dark and good times
I witnessed a newborn
While burying my blackest thorn alive
I’ve crashed my head into debauchery
I promised yes in a church but we failed
I’ve been losing best friends
While seeing great ends come alive
I’m dodging the body bag
And hoisting the ragged flag
Of all the wars I had in me
Of all the wars I had in me
Locked the door but saved a key
Love, life, anxiety
It’s all got a price tag
You circle and zigzag
Sucking the last drag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Been living side by side with lies and loyalty
I’ve been hanging your Gods without proof
But I put it to rest
Yes, I did all my best and I’m alive
I’m dodging the body bag
And hoisting the ragged flag
Of all the wars I had in me
Of all the wars I had in me
Locked the door but saved a key
Love, life, anxiety
It’s all got a price tag
You circle and zigzag
Sucking the last drag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
'Cause all you wanna know
Is that you’re good to go
The keys are in the truck
Fuck off and wish me good luck
We are the ones that failed in everything
But we’re the sons that survived anything
You can’t pray a lie
First you live, then you die
And we’re alive
I’m dodging the body bag
And hoisting the ragged flag
Of all the wars I had in me
Of all the wars I had in me
Locked the door but saved a key
Love, life, anxiety
It’s all got a price tag
You circle and zigzag
Sucking the last drag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
Hoisting the ragged flag
