I Kneel In Solidarity

I kneel with all right across the globe, I kneel in solidarity i stand with all the kneelers and I do it with some clarity As a national flag is just coloured cloth designed to divide and rule Indoctrination starts when you're young, vulnerable and still at school This continues into the workplace and at sporting events too Well I'll kneel for freedom where the flag once flew Freedom of speech is what it's all about So I'll stand with all the kneelers to give freedom a shout As the colours of this flag are just a sign of imperialism The mark of an invader, the mark of materialism A fake patriotism that's forced upon you Well I'll kneel for freedom where the flag once flew To be persecuted for not standing to attention Is for the whole world to see and is up for contention As signs of fascism and hate are all around for us to see So freedom of speech is what we must guarantee Well I refuse to stand for the flag that is red white and blue But I will kneel for freedom where the flag once flew
