lyrics

"I want a new flag
Lets get a new flag
A true flag
A blue badge
A new brand
I want a new flag
Lets get a new flag
I want a new flag
Fuck the old flag
With big ferns
Flightless birds
Lets get a new flag
I want a new flag

Yo flags are dope
They fly in the sky and they advertise
A country or company
Flying high
Like the way i ride
First class for free cause of corperate ties
From up on high
I know just what is best for people all country wide
We can spend all of these millies
When im back from the hawaii
House i own for holidaying
That aint enough to satisfy
I need my own flag man,
put my stamp
On the land
This is a re-braanndd
It worked for Spark
What works for phone companies works for a countryyy mann

You dont wanna get us confused with

The place next door

Thats what the millions are for

Yo i like sport
So lets take the countries favourite sports
Team
put their on a flag, thatll be all g
Rugby - kids are gonna love this
the veterans are dead they wont get pissed
Then we can sign trade agreemements
Behind their backs
While the rest of country argues about
Blue or white
Or black,
you wanna help your PM get his legacy
nice and secured right?
a brand new logo - overlook the debt
Get elected for the 4th time
With a big pay rise
Ca-ching

We don't need the millions for housing the poor
We just need some millions for starting a war
Cause war creates profit
Then I can fill my wallet
First I need a flag, got it?
Like a weetbix box, stock it
Like the stock exchange
Shares go up
When the bombs go down
The flag flies proud
And you might be poor
And not able to afford a first home
But you won't give a fuck
When you look at your flag
And think, I voted for that
That makes me happy when I can't sleep at night
Cause my earthquake damaged homes still leaking from the pipes

I think i made my point right"
