about

Heard this as a film Title loved the name (and the film). Just considered the often futile nature of war and wanted to express a bit rocky rather than in the old ballad style

lyrics

They say it like its a really good thing
I guess its like you’ve won
But from where i stand and what I’ve seen
Its Not much when all is said and done


The cost is great the price too high
The gains only so short term
And we never ever ever seem to
See the problems and then learn

Not sure i want to pay the price
Of of those souls dying
Just to be able to say
Im The one with the last flag flying

Be better to get out a board and dice
And settle our differences that way
At least our youth and future
Would live another day

Not to fight on some foreign shore
And not know the wherefore or why
Never to see their home again
Theres so many ways to die

Not sure i want to pay the price
Of of those souls dying
Just to be able to say
Im The one with the last flag flying

Im proud of my home and my flag
But im tired of parents crying
Just so some self proclaimed patriot
Says “we have the last flag flying”.
