    A song about coming together despite tragedy. I think it's fitting, considering this entire year has been, well, pretty shit. It's not new or anything, but I thought the lyrics were uplifting and people could maybe use a song about feeling good. By the same band and from the same album with a similar feel, I can also recommend Leave Them All Behind.

    I tagged this as rock, because even though Billy Talent in general is a punk rock band, I don't know if I'd classify this song as punk rock.

    Sleep well everyone.

      I fucking love me some Billy Talent! Red Flag is another incredibly appropriate song these days, IMO.

      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

      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

      Like a fire don't need water
      Like a jury needs a liar
      Like a riot don't need order
      Like a madman needs a martyr
      We don't need them x8

        the kids of tomorrow don't need today when they live in the sins of yesterday if one of my favourite lines in all lyrics ever probably. It'd just so poetic.
