about

Identity politics ain't just the terrain of the "woke". This cartoon patriot has been prepackaged and shrink wrapped for years. Poking fun at the puffed up flagging, virtue signalling state of insecurity. It's a catchy, punky three chord word rant with jokes and puns. The guitar and piano refuse to play ball, offering hints of Chaz n' Dave having a breakdown. "It's Uber Allez down at Buckingham Palace!"

lyrics

Flag Waving Man
I’ve got a new flag made in Vietnam.
Everyone thinks it stands for En-ger-land
This hallowed flag from thread so fine
Made by the million on a production line.
It’s a white flag with a big red cross,
Child labour helps to cut the cost
of this synthetic silk, sweat shop rag
That’s stained with the colours of my new flag.

My new flag, you should see my new flag.
it’s in a shrink wrapped bag. It’s a cultural tag.

I’ve got a Chineses flag in red white and blue.
The fabric so thin that I can see through
That it separates me from you
Thus we are subjugated by the few.
Red is for the blood all colours run through.
White is washed over yesterdays news.
Blue is the blood in the privileged chalice.
It’s Uber Alles down at Buckingham palace.

With my new flag. It was made in China.
For a chick called Regina, I wave my new flag.
let’s wave man…..

See my flag I wave it hard.
I stick on a pole in my back yard.
It lets you know where I stand.
Oooh Aaah get off my land.

I’ve two flags on my Japanese car
the master race ain’t going very far.
I’ve got a plastic flag on a plastic stick,
when I wave it, I look like…..

A flag waving man. A flag waving man.
I’m flagging it up that this is flagging,
this flag waving scam.
A flag waving man. A flag waving man.
I’m flagging it up that this is flagging,
