Pink Flag lyrics

I was sold up the river to the red slave trade

The stores were gathered, the plans were laid

Synchronised watches at 18:05

How many dead or alive in 1955?

The pink flags were screaming

Bugle boys sucked and blew

No time for confessions, orders given

Books were cooked, on the fourth of the third

How many seen or heard on the twelfth of the third?

How many dead or alive?

How many dead or alive?

How many dead or alive?

How many dead or alive?

How many, how many?

How many, how many?

How many, how many?

How many, how many?

How many, how many?

How many, how many?

How many, how many?

How many, how many?

Yeah
