THE FLAG - Barenaked Ladies

The phone rings, it early, it's
seven o'clock, he says
sorry I woke you but I
just had to talk.
You know last night, remember when
I tried to choke you?  I didn't 
mean it, I was drunk, it was 
only a joke.
You should know that by now,
when the chequered flag comes down,
		 add7	        
no one, no one, no one has won the race.

The next night he's over and
over and under and 
after he's finished, she 
lies there and wonders just 
why does she need him, and
why does she stay here, and 
then in the darkness, she'll 
quietly say Dear, you've 
never really known
that when the white flag is flown,
no one, no one, no one has won the war.

They're complicated people leading 
complicated lives, and he 
complicates their problems by telling 
complicated lies
He tells her he's sorry, she 
tells him it's over he 
tells her he's sorry she 
says over and over, You've
never really known
that when the white flag is flown,
		   add7	        
no one, no one, no one has won the war.

There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird
There goes a partridge and there goes a Go Train
There goes an angel and there goes a steeple
There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle
There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
There goes a raven and there go

The ribbons the ribbons the ribbons
The ribbons of the flag.
