Lyrics Raise the Banner - King Prawn

Raise the Banner

So now who be the terrorist?
Raise your right fist
And pump it in the air 'cause it ain’t too clear
Just where the line is drawn to make this war
Everybody’s got to settle a score
Tit for tat, rat-a-tat-tat
Now another mother’s gonna dress in black
Demonise with these holy lies
While the propagandist still fuels the fire
And they’re rolling, rolling, burning black tyre
See another face staring through the razor wire
Deprived but still they will kill
Soldiers entering at their own peril
'Cause sticks and stones will break some bones
And send soldiers in body bags back home
While the war machine is kept so clean
With self approved pics on the TV screen
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
So now tell me the cost of another life lost
Or does this sense of worth come down to birth?
'Cause the eye will see what it chooses to see
Forever ignorant to the hypocrisy
And the money that’s given for buying all the weapons
Just to make sure that some enemy’s smitten
If you keep 'em locked down in your human zoo
You better watch out when they turn on you
Targeted assassination
Figures in the night moving in formation
In for the kill, in for the thrill
But it ain’t gonna be the last blood spilt
'Cause if you take a look into your own back yard
Then you’re gonna find yourself at the start
So who be the terrorist?
Sounds the propagandist
With their big mouths they wanna discredit
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
Raise the banner to the sound of the hypocrites
