Story Behind The Song

Religious extremism is not coming from just one side.

Song Description

I made this song just before the U.S. launched the debacle that is the war on Iraq.

Lyrics

The sun has dawned
On the Brave New World
Our leader has come
With his flag unfurled
He knows the way
To a better day
Now unfurl your flag

The nation's in crisis
But that's ok, he will guide us
He's read the good book
So he knows where to look
He's here to tell us
What is good and bad
So unfurl your flag

You must ignore
The corporate greed
It's not the needy
Who have the true need
If your livelihood's lost
Well, that's just the cost
Now unfurl your flag

Can't stop these fuckers!

Decontextualize
The threat at hand
Surrender your rights
To secure the homeland
If you're one of us
You won't make a fuss
And you'll unfurl your flag

Don't worry about Al-Qaida
We're winning that war
So rally the troops
Cause it's time for one more
Primacy's the fad
How can that be bad?
Now unfurl you flag
