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)
(Hear the future call)
(Time to start again) time to start again
(They're dancing on the wall)
(Can you hear them call)
(See the banners fall)
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

But can the preacher save your soul
(See the banners fall)

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

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

(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)
(Hear the future call)
(Time to start again) time to start again
(They're dancing on the wall)
(Can you hear them call)
(See the banners fall)
