MASSIVE ATTACK lyrics : "False Flags"

In city shoes of clueless blues
Pays the views and no man's news
Blades will fade from blood to sport

The !@(%'s cut these fuses short

Smokers rode a colonial pig

Drink and frame, this pain I think
I'm melting silver poles my dear
You bleed your wings and then disappear


The moving scenes and pilot lights
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights

Modern times come talk me down
And battle lines are drawn across this town


Parisian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk 'em down 'cause it's up in flames

And nothing's changed

Parisian boys without your names

Riot like 1968 again
The days of rage, yeah, nothing's changed
Well pretty flames


In school, I would just bite my tongue
And now your words, they strike me down

The flags are false and they contradict
They point and click which wounds to lick


On avenues, this Christian breeze
Turns its heart to more needles please
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more

It frays this skin and then underscore

The case for war you spin and bleed

The cells you fill screen savers feed
The girls you breed, the soaps that you write
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes


The moving scenes and suburbanites
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights

Modern times come talk me down
The battle lines are drawn across this town


English boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Hearts and minds, and U.S. planes

Nothing's changed

And English boys without your names

Riot like the 1980's again
The days of rage, yeah, nothing's changed
More pretty flames
