Raven
Raven
What can we make of this war for our village
Raven
explain all this plunder and pillage
It's all too patently clear
Since Raven's been wavin war flags around here
So Raven stop wavin war flags around here
Raven
Who are you savin with points you've been shavin
the lives you are takin the ground you have shaken
No haven is safe from blind hatred we fear
Since, Raven's been wavin war flags around here
So Raven stop wavin war flags around here
Raven
Don't go engravin dull colors of your framin
of our Red White and Blue
It shames us to see the dirty tricks that you do
It is all too frightfully clear
Since Raven's been wavin war flags around here
So Raven stop wavin war flags around here
Raven
It blows as blood flows on our heads and our toes
Heaven knows, we're shedding much more than a tear
Since Raven's been wavin war flags around here
So Raven stop wavin war flags around here
Raven
You want to blast us into outer space
First let's feed house and clothe the human race
'Cause there's gore over here
death and more over there
We do not have another world to share or spare
It's all too painfully clear
Since Raven's been wavin war flags around here
So Raven stop wavin
bloody war flags around here
