Raise Your Flag Lyrics - Pretty Maids

He's an outlaw 

On a dead end street 

Has no choice no road to follow 

Between the devil and the deep blue sea 

Today's like tomorrow 

Oh he's building up inside 

Danger in the air 

One fatal shot in the street fight 

[Chorus] 

Raise your flag 

Show your colour 

All you've got is yourself 

Don't turn your back 

On your brother 

Put your trust in nobody else 

Under surveillance 

Put in the frame 

Doing time in a crossbar hotel 

Took his freedom 

Took his name 

Took his ambitions away 

No one could hold him down 

He couldn't take it any longer 

Raised in a criminal play-ground 

[Chorus] 

Walking the street as soldier 

Day in day out 

No one to lend a shoulder 

Inside outside all the same 

[Chorus]
