Pablo Bellinghausen - The Flag Flies High Lyrics

We are the foreigners
We are the mutts
We are the brown bits
Stuck to the melting pot
We are the accent
You spot on the phone
"Sorry, where are you from?
You're not really from here
Where are you really from?"

We are adapting
Chopping off our flaws
We steal your culture
And give it back evolved
We know your history
The stuff you forgot
Your grandparents' boats
And their grandparents' slums

And the flag flies high
From the wall of your pride
Yet together we stand
In this no man's land
With the facts on our side
We're unheard but we're right
We're done biding our time
We will no longer hide
We're here tonight

We are the liberals
We are the sluts
We will break down
Any taboo you've got
Children of the digital
At ease with the new
At peace with our genitals
LGBTQ

Post-marriage/post-class
Post-hipster/post-cool
Post-gender/post-race
Post-sin/post-virtue
Post-nation/post walls
Post-housing/post boom
Post-jobs and post-hope
Post-gods and post-you

And your flag flies high
From the wall of your pride
Yet together we stand
In this no man's land
With the truth on our side
We're unheard but we fight
We're done biding our time
We will no longer hide
We're here tonight

Will you compromise?
Will you compromise?
Clad those satanic mills
In flame-retardant lies?

Will you compromise?
Will you compromise?
Drown out discontent washed
Ashore by alien tides?

Will you compromise?
Will you compromise?
How low will you sink
To see how high you rise?

Will you compromise?
Will you compromise?
Will you be what you hate
To purge those you despise?

We're all here tonight
We're all here tonight
Nous sommes tous ici
Estamos todos aquí
