False Flags (Massive Attack)

3d: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.
