A Flag Waved That Once Flew

Take one minute each morning for me
As you're sipping on your tea or coffee
Your profit from years ago
Thieving all the things that grow
Your oblivious nature stirs
As you sift through leopard print furs
Cocoa from Côte d'Ivoire
Heroin from Myanmar

You can't change what's been
You won't see what's coming
No no no no no
You can't change
No no no no no
You can't see

I've an island for my gain
But there's nobody here
To cut my cane
It's too hard for me and you
So let's give them something to do
Just bowl and field
Don't bat
Apply my vice both sides of the map
I love to live in good health
And you'll swear allegiance to the commonwealth

You can't change what's been
You won't see what's coming
A flag waved that once flew
A foreign bride alimony's due
You can't change what's been
You won't see what's coming
No no no no no
You can't change
No no no no no
What's been
No no no no no
You won't see
No no no no no
What's coming
