Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Well I've never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And they'll show us a thing or two
Our only weapons are the guns of youth
It's only time before they tighten the noose
And then the hunt will be on for you
We don't need them
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a King
We'll attack at the crack of dawn
Build a ladder if there's a wall
Don't be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you
We don't need them
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Like a fire
Don't need water
Like a jury
Needs a lawyer
Like a riot
Don't need order
Like a madman
Needs a martyr
We don't need them [x8]
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

ÜBERSETZUNG
Schmeiß die Krücke weg, die den Schmerz lindert
Die rote Flagge weht und nichts ist wie zuvor
Die Kinder von morgen brauchen kein Heute wenn sie in den Sünden von gestern leben.
Nun ich habe uns noch nie so gesehen
Unsere einzige Hoffnung ist in den Köpfen der Kinder
Und sie werden uns das eine oder andere zeigen.
Unsere einzigen Waffen sind die Waffen der Jugend
Es wird Zeit bevor sie achtzehn sind
Und dann werden sie an der Jagd beteiligt sein.
Die rote Flagge weht und nichts ist wie zuvor
Wie die kleinste Biene einen Stängel packt
Wie der Bauer einen König schachmatt setzt
Wir werden beim Anbruch der Dämmerung angreifen.
Stell eine Leiter auf falls da eine Wand ist
Hab keine Angst auszurutschen und zu fallen
Spreche für dich oder sie sprechen für dich.
Wir brauchen sie nicht.
Wie ein Feuer
Brauch kein Wasser
Wie die Jury
Einen Lügner braucht
Wie wenn ein Krawall
Vorüber geht
Wie der Verrückte
Einen Peiniger braucht.
