See the Banners Fall

All the world's a stage they say

But who decides the part we play

A mourner in the Lebanon

A logger in the Amazon

Soldiers in the square of shame

Our children play in acid rain

They won't pay a martyr's bail

Black fella in a white man's jail

See the banners fall

(See the banners fall)

(Hear the future call)

(Time to start again)

(They're dancing on the wall)

(Can you hear them call?)

(See the banners fall)

The Colonel wears Pierre Cardin

But clothes don't always make the man

The teacher preaches what he's told

But can the preacher save your soul

(See the banners fall)

(Hear the future call)

(Time to start again) they're dancing on the wall

(They're dancing on the wall)

(Can you hear them call)

See the banners fall

(See the banners fall)

(Hear the future call)

(Time to start again) they're dancing on the wall

(They're dancing on the wall)

(Can you hear them call?)

(See the banners fall) see the banners fall

Eagles in a sea of oil

Noble men on barren soil

Children waiting in the wings

Wonder what the future brings

(See the banners fall)

(Hear the future call)

(Time to start again) they're dancing on the wall

(They're dancing on the wall)

(Can you hear them call?)

(See the banners fall) see the banners fall

(See the banners fall)

(Hear the future call)

(Time to start again)

(They're dancing on the wall) can you hear them call?

(Can you hear them call?)

See the banners fall

(See the banners fall)

(Hear the future call)

(Time to start again)

(They're dancing on the wall)

Can you hear them call?

See the banners fall

(See the banners fall)
