Wave Your Flag

Wave your flag kid
You've won
You've beat them all
You're standing tall on a mountain top
Where the bliss exceeds the chapped lip kisses
You get from the yetis
Who got you up here

Wave your flag kid
On fifth avenue
Where you lead the parade
Through a powerless barrage
Of antiquated thought
Brought on by fearmongering
And magazine subscriptions

But you've won
You've won
Hey, dammit you've won

Wave your flag
With the red and gold stars
Wave your flag
With the hen and the bears
Wave your flag
Wave it like you care

Wave your flag at the widows
Who just stopped wearing black
Wave your flag at the ninjas
Who just stopped practicing
Wave your flag at the moon men
Who just got back from Mars

Wave your flag
Wave it proud
Wave it long
Wave it until the wind takes it

Then follow it off
With your eyes
And act surprised
When you can't see it
Anymore
