Massive Attack - False Flags Lyrics

Send "False Flags" ringtones to your cell

In city shoes 
Of clueless blues 
Pays the views 
And no-mans news 
Blades will fade from blood to sport 
The heroin's cut these fuses short 
Smokers rode a colonial pig 
Drink and frame this pain i think 
I'm melting silver poles my dear 
You bleed your wings and then disappear 
The moving scenes and pilot lights 
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights 
Modern times come talk me down 
And battle lines are drawn across this town 
Parisian boys without your names 
Ghetto stones instead of chains 
Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames 
And nothing's changed 
Parisian boys without your names 
Riot like 1968 again 
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed 
Well pretty flames 
In school i would just bite my tongue 
And now your words they strike me down 
The flags are false and they contradict 
They point and click which wounds to lick 
On avenues this christian breeze 
Turns its heart to more needles please 
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more 
It frays this skin and then underscore 
The case for war you spin and bleed 
The cells you fill screensavers feed 
The girls you breed the soaps that you write 
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes 
The moving scenes and suburbanites 
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights 
Modern times come talk me down 
The battle lines are drawn across this town 
English boys without your names 
Ghetto stones instead of chains 
Hearts and minds and u.s. Planes 
Nothing's changed 
And english boys without your names 
Riot like the 1980's again 
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed 
More pretty flames
