lyrics

This is your national flag
Watch how the black stripe separates the people into two distinct halves
One half is above the line – next half is below the line
And at the end of the day, we’re all separated…

Be true to your own roots now, and everything on file
Salute to the symbols you know now
And dedicate your life - your interests to your country
It will break you down; we’re so suicidal, so anxious to die for her
It’s my intention to…

Take the black stripe off the flag so I can hang myself on the pole
I’m gonna hang myself on the pole, so I don’t have to face the…
Plastic sheet in voting booth, so you can shoot yourself at the polls
I’m gonna shoot myself at the poll, so I don’t have to face the world

Won’t some please save me now
…give me identity
I want to patriotically bury my entire life under costal sun and sand
Because my mother land is an island slowly sinking into the sea
It’s my intention to…

Take the black stripe off the flag so I can hang myself on the pole
I’m gonna hang myself on the pole, so I don’t have to face the…
Plastic sheet in voting booth, so you can shoot yourself at the polls
I’m gonna shoot myself at the poll, so I don’t have to face the world

Face the world…

For life, for love, your integrity, your community, for your friendships, for your family
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes to…
That that black stripe off the flag so I can hang myself on the pole
They put a plastic sheet in voting booth, so you can shoot yourself at the poll

Psychological saviour
When satisfaction seems to be the death of all desire
But am I failure for falling into love with the land of ‘La Trinity’?
Systematic form of mind-rape
Red borders and hummingbirds in hibiscus trees
I choose not to favour my own happiness over heritage
