Your flag, your alibi
Can you hide behind
Claiming might is right?
Raise your fist to the sky
While below your boots
Common men die
Colors fly
Tell us who to love and who to hate
And by the by
Will the memories of our morals fade?
Staying true
To your own convictions in this haze
Is harder to do than say
So choose a color to live by
Your goal, your faith, your virtue
Give it all
Be the best 'cause nothing less will do
You can rule the world with colors flying high
You'll know that if you stay true
Green or blue
Red or white
You can't lose
With your colors flying high
♪
Your ethics: problematic
It's clear that we
Don't see eye to eye
We have to find a balance
A common line
Or we'll fall hard
Our colors rise
Tell us who to hate, who to adore
And as you try
To sort out what you've been fighting for
Take your hands
Go and draw the line into the sand
And show them all
Where you stand
So choose your colors true and bright
As hero, liege or sinner
Give it all
Be the best 'cause nothing less will do
If you must go down with colors flying high
You know you're still a winner
Pink or pale
Black as night
You can't fail
With your colors flying high
♪
So choose the color you will fly
Fight on for your convictions
Give it all
Be the best 'cause nothing less will do
You can rule the world with colors flying high
Believe in your ambitions
Green or blue
Red or white
You can't lose
With your colors flying high
