Blinded by Stars

Blinded by Stars

My blood does remember the rhythm of a drum
Beat by a boy soldier whose revolution won
Ive carried pretty flowers to fallen heroes graves
& stood in silence honoring the price our fathers paid

This was their flag but this aint their fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This was their flag but this aint their fight

So what do you call justice & what is freedom for
Dont let the towncrier decide if we go to war
Cos this aint about your medla
The choice is of the soul
& hate is never brave while mercys always, always sold

Blinded by stars tangled in stripes
This is our flag but this aint our fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This is our flag but this aint our fight
This is my flag but this aint my fight

Now I was born a rebel, I question what Im told
No wonder this young skin Im wearin
Feels so old

Dont be blinded by stars tangled in stripes
This is our flag but this aint our fight
Dirty with oil tattered by spite
This is our flag but this aint our fight
This I s my flag but this aint my fight
