Battle Flags

Battle Flags by Zach Charo

Lyrics:

Maybe you have the words to say to change a mind
To tell them what should and what should not be counted crime
But without your words to them, you’re not an endorser
You play the judge and enforcer

So you profess that you know the way
You might impress the choir
Fly your convictions like battle flags
But render friendly fire

You’re talking down but still you’re trying to persuade
Just take it or leave it son, but know the price is paid
And love doesn’t force itself on others like you do
And we’re not here just to argue

So you profess that you know the way
You might impress the choir
Fly your convictions like battle flags
But render friendly fire
Just try to prove that you know the way
You might impress the choir
Fly your convictions like battle flags
But render friendly fire

And we don’t need the last word
No, we don’t need the last word
The truth can stand alone
The truth can hold it’s own
No, we don’t need the last word
No, we don’t need the last word

So you profess that you know the way
You might impress the choir
Just try and see if you can fit love
Inside a campaign flyer
You love your world and it holds you back
From loving passers by
Fly your convictions like battle flags
But you were dead inside.
