Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Chorus 1
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Verse 1
Well I've never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And they'll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth
It's only time before they tighten the noose
And then the hunt will be on for you
Ian: Verse 1,/ means slide up
Refrain
The red flag waving
never meant the same
no The red flag waving
never meant the same
Chorus 2
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Verse 2
Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a king
We'll attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if there's a wall
Don't be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or
they'll speak for you
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 2)

Like a fire don't need water
Like a jury needs a liar
Like riot don't need order
Like a madman needs a martyr

We don't need them!
We don't need them!
We don't need them!
We don't need them!
We don't need them!
We don't need them!

We don't need them!
