Die And Burn Lyrics - Flags And Emblems - Stiff Little Fingers

You're holding on to something 

I don't believe it's real 

You're living in the past 

And you refuse to reappraise 

Your ridiculous commitment 

To an outmoded ideal 

Are you honestly that stupid 

Or will these wounds never heal 

[Chorus:] 

You can keep your flags and emblems 

I don't need them anymore 

So just take your age-old hatred 

And then walk out of the door 

I hope that you die and burn tonight 

I hope that you die and burn tonight 

You think of all your neighbours 

As just scum upon the earth 

And you live inside a bubble 

Where a badge is all you're worth 

All your dreams are built on loathing 

All your hopes are built on hate 

I can't see any way out 

Of this hell that you create 

[Chorus] 

I wish you could see yourself 

As others all see you 

Then maybe you'd realise 

That you seem such a fool 

[Chorus]
