Refused Half Mast Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When freedom is in hiding from morality when you've finally scrubbed this
Great land clean of those values you hold in such high esteem when you've
Finally divorced the numbers from the names we can return to your good old
Days bound and gagged by sex and race chained by family crazed by god while

[Chorus]
We raise the flag shout down the past
The stars and stripes stream by at half mast
Your eyes well up with tears and yeah so do mine

[Verse 2]
I never knew the High price of hypocrisy so pledge allegiance to the death penalty
Believe in your drug war bow down to the tv set
You need to cultivate that apathy
That swells inside your troat

[Chorus]
Raise the flag shout down the past
Your stars and stripes stream by at half mast
Your eyes well up with tears
And yeah so do mine
Half mast, dehumanized
Half mast, divided
Half mast, overloaded
Half mast, who the f*ck cares
So long as you can sleep well under the iron fist
