Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
[Am]Cast off the crutch that [C]kills the pain
The [G]red flag waving never [F]meant the same
The [C]kids of tomorrow don't [G]need today
When they [E]live in the sins of yesterday

[Verse 1]
[Am]Well, I've never seen us act like this[Dm]
Our only hope is the minds of [Am]kids
And they'll show us a thing or [Dm]two[E]
[Am]Our only[C] weapons are
the guns of [Dm]youth
It's [E]only time before they tighten the [Am]noose
[C]Then the hunt will be on for [Dm]you[E]

[Pre-chorus 1]
The [F]red flag waving never [Dm]meant the same,
[G]no[Am]
The [F]red flag waving never [Dm]meant the same,
[G][E]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Cast off the crutch that [C]kills the pain
The [G]red flag waving never [F]meant the same
The [C]kids of tomorrow don't [G]need today
When they [E]live in the sins of yesterday
[Am]Cast off the crutch that [C]kills the pain
The [G]red flag waving never [F]meant the same
The [C]kids of tomorrow don't [G]need today
When they [E]live in the sins of yesterday

[Verse 2]
[Am]Like[C] the smallest bee packs a stin[Dm]g
[E]Like a pawn checkmates a [Am]king
[C]We'll attack at the crack of [Dm]dawn[E]
[Am]Buil[C]d a ladder if there's a wall[Dm]
Don't [E]be afraid to slip and [Am]fall
Speak [C]for yourself
or they'll speak for [Dm]you[E]

[Pre-chorus 2]
The [F]red flag waving never [Dm]meant the same,
[G]no![Am]
The [F]red flag waving never [Dm]meant the same,
[G]no![E]

[Chorus 3]
[Am]Cast off the crutch that [C]kills the pain
The [G]red flag waving never [F]meant the same
The [C]kids of tomorrow don't [G]need today
When they [E]live in the sins of yesterday
[Am]Cast off the crutch that [C]kills the pain
The [G]red flag waving never [F]meant the same
The [C]kids of tomorrow don't [G]need today
When they [E]live in the sins of yesterday

[Bridge 1]
[Am][G][Dm][F]
[Am][G][Dm][F]
Like a [Am]fi re
Don't need [G]wa ter
Like a [Dm]ju ry
Needs a [F]li ar
Like a [Am]ri ot
Don't need [G]or der
Like a [Dm]mad man
Needs a [F]martyr
We don't [Am]need them
We don't [G]need them
We don't [Dm]need them
We don't [F]need them
We don't [Am]need them
We don't [G]need them
We don't [Dm]need them
We don't [F]need them
[Am]

[Chorus 4]
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
[Am]Cast off the crutch that [C]kills the pain
The [G]red flag waving never [F]meant the same
The [C]kids of tomorrow don't [G]need today
When they [E]live in the sins of yesterday

[Chorus 5]
[Am]Cast off the crutch that [C]kills the pain
The [G]red flag waving never [F]meant the same
The [C]kids of tomorrow don't [G]need today
When they [E]live in the sins of yesterday
We don't [Am]need them
