Lyrics False Flag - Terrible Love

False Flag

Dirt clings like rust, a past that won’t wash off
A man from broken people
His world forgotten and left to rot
Strength drove him upward, his bread came from the rock
Once proud, now bitter
A crippled arm and out of luck
The home he built was meant to last
But changing times pulled it apart
So stand up tall, keep clutching your flag
Sing loud and true, of the freedoms we once had
Free to decide, between their lies
One took your heart, the other took your eyes
The others, who came in friendship
Promised you protection, and said you’d never suffer
But the help you got, was soon forgotten
You were not deserving, and fell back to the bottom
A generation kept on its knees
Given nothing it was led to believe
Strays and loners start to show us their teeth
Better lives are merely wants and not needs
Better lives are merely wants and not needs
Twisted truths is what we were shown
We’d change our minds if we had known
