Fugazi - Facet Squared

Pride no longer has definition
everybody wears it, it always fits
a state invoked for lack of position
strength is the bait that keeps us busy
if it's perforated, then tear it to bits
all sense was lost in the frenzy

they should never...
touch the ground

irony is the refuge of the educated
always complaining but they never quit
cool's eternal, but it's always dated

they should never...
touch the ground

it's not worth, it's the investment
that keeps us tied up in all these strings
we draw lines and stand behind them
that's why flags are such ugly things

that they should never...
touch the ground

Just the first thing that pops to mind when all this flag rubbish comes up.

I am making a note of her age and roughly when she will be applying to colleges.

She wrote that for a school essay contest? I promise you, if I had written that, I would have been expelled. No doubt in my mind. Good for her.

That was a very nice essay, Charlotte. You may now take your seat.

I can't top tetsuo's excellent song, but I always think of Rush's Territories.

Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world
Than the pride that divides
When a colorful rag is unfurled
