TAKE UP THE FLAG
(Take up the Black Flag)

Refrain

Take up the flag, take up the black flag now.
Take up the flag, take up the peace flag.
Take up the flag, take up the black flag now.
Take up the flag, take up the peace flag.

Can’t you see that the flags of the countries,
Are the flags of the killing and war?
Can’t you see that the flags of the countries,
Are the flags of the killing and war?

Repeat Refrain

We can have that which we imagine.
We can stop the violent ones.
We can have that which we imagine.
We can stop the violent ones.

Repeat Refrain

When one is down, the others must take it.
When one is down, the others must go.
When one is down, the others must take it.
When one is down, the others must go.

Repeat Refrain

We must burn the flags of the countries,
Burn the flags of the killing and war.
We must burn the flags of the countries,
Burn the flags of the killing and war.

Repeat Refrain

(C) Carol Moore 1981
