A million star flags were waved Kneel down, the nation’s insane The greater good in their hands They crossed lines drawn in the sand A decade of one disgrace Waged wars, fatal missteps After lessons unlearned a seeming saviour returns Chorus: The fear will creep inside It feeds the oblivious mind The fear will creep inside It feeds the unconscious mind A man who offers a change wears out, crushed by the game Again the star flags are waved Wars go on, he’s locked in his cage
