7. Wave the White Flag (4:33)
A man has gone overboard
And the ruling class will ask
Are you up to the task?
But you're not sure
You're finding it all too much
You wave the white flag
So good luck
Wave the white flag
Watch your own back
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
And when it gets overcast
You sail towards the east
With the smile of a priest with no past
You're leaving it all to chance
You wave the white flag
So good luck
Wave the white flag
Watch your own back
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
And the ruling class will ask
Are you up to the task?
But you're not sure
You're finding it all too much
You wave the white flag
So good luck
Wave the white flag
Watch your own back
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
And when it gets overcast
You sail towards the east
With the smile of a priest with no past
You're leaving it all to chance
You wave the white flag
So good luck
Wave the white flag
Watch your own back
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
Wave the white flag
In harmony you'll find
