- Pink Flag LyricsI was sold up the river to the red slave trade
The stores were gathered, the plans were laid
Synchronised watches at 18: 05
How many dead or alive
In 1955
The pink flags was screaming
Bugle boys sucked and blew
No time for confessions, orders given
Books were cooked, on the 4th of the 3rd
How many seen or heard
On the 12th of the 3rd
How many dead or alive
The stores were gathered, the plans were laid
Synchronised watches at 18: 05
How many dead or alive
In 1955
The pink flags was screaming
No time for confessions, orders given
Books were cooked, on the 4th of the 3rd
How many seen or heard
On the 12th of the 3rd
How many dead or alive

The song, however, is not only a reflection of the past but also an acknowledgment of the human condition, the necessity of historical injustice, war and conflict, loss and suffering, and repetition and emphasis. Among the topics covered in the lyrics are violence and references to the history of slavery that might be offensive to the younger ones.
