[Verse] Tattered stars and stripes drip in neon light, Bleeding colors on the rusted wire tight. Flicker flames of glory past, faded and worn, Hanging crooked like the dreams that we mourn. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, look at her, she’s falling apart— A patriotic mess, a streetwise heart. [Chorus] Torn flag, hanging high, watch it fall, Mocking freedom’s twisted call. Bleed the truth, we’re watching close— Broken pride in the neighborhood ghost. [Verse] Pool balls clack beneath that ripped old rag, Spitting stories in the alley’s dragging drag. Fingers point but nobody dares to fix, Just a symbol stuck amongst the cigarette licks. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, she’s a joke that no one can deny— A fluttering lie in a smoggy sky. [Chorus] Torn flag, hanging high, watch it fall, Mocking freedom’s twisted call. Bleed the truth, we’re watching close— Broken pride in the neighborhood ghost. [Bridge] Flip the page, rewrite the lines, Burn the lies, drag the signs. We’re not asking for a savior’s smile— Just a damned flag that’s worth our while. [Chorus] Torn flag, hanging high, watch it fall, Mocking freedom’s twisted call. Bleed the truth, we’re watching close— Broken pride in the neighborhood ghost. [Outro] Torn flag, torn flag... Wave it off, wave it off— Nothing left but the scraps.
