Lyrics for Song: False Flags 
Lyrics for Album: Collected [2006]
  
               
  12360>In city shoes
  Of clueless blues
  Pays the views
  And no-mans news
  Blades will fade from blood to sport
  The heroin's cut these fuses short
  Smokers rode a colonial pig
  Drink and frame this pain i think
  I'm melting silver poles my dear
  You bleed your wings and then disappear
  The moving scenes and pilot lights
  Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
  Modern times come talk me down
  And battle lines are drawn across this town
  Parisian boys without your names
  Ghetto stones instead of chains
  Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
  And nothing's changed
  Parisian boys without your names
  Riot like 1968 again
  The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
  Well pretty flames
  In school i would just bite my tongue
  And now your words they strike me down
  The flags are false and they contradict
  They point and click which wounds to lick
  On avenues this christian breeze
  Turns its heart to more needles please
  Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
  It frays this skin and then underscore
  The case for war you spin and bleed
  The cells you fill screensavers feed
  The girls you breed the soaps that you write
  The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
  The moving scenes and suburbanites
  And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
  Modern times come talk me down
  The battle lines are drawn across this town
  English boys without your names
  Ghetto stones instead of chains
  Hearts and minds and u.s. Planes
  Nothing's changed
  And english boys without your names
  Riot like the 1980's again
  The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
  More pretty flames
