Cursive - Flag and Family Lyrics
Talking about what was best for meWithout a name or a degree,Stubbornly holding onto youAnd you pulling away from meThe best that they could say,For my restless teenage ways,Was time in the serviceMight serve me well,Even if it's just service inThe latrinesLucy my love,Don't go sending me off to warI put up with your family,Full of bigots and fanatics,Just to get a little closer to you,Now you've turned on me tooYou have turned on me too.Go hide behind your flag and familyThis town has nothing left for meThis town is nothing moreThan a fundamentalist penitentiaryWhen you're down on your kneesAre you praying for holy war?When you're down on your kneesAre you praying for holy war?Lucy my love,Don't go sending me off to warWe must live,We must true,To our childhood dreams,Or they're worthlessAnd our youth is insincereSo where do we find worth?I put up with your family,Full of bigots and fanatics,Just to get a little closer to you,Now you've turned on me tooYou have turned on me too.When you're down on your kneesAre you praying for holy war?When you're down on your kneesAre you praying for holy war?Lucy my love,Don't go sending me off to warWe must live,We must true,To our childhood dreams,Or they are worthlessAnd our youth is insincereSo where do we find worth?
