Question/and why so many critics

[LOS35]

What does the red flag symbolize? Wouldn't have been a better idea to wave a giant VH flag or better yet the American flag? Remember that picture with them dressed in army fatigues mounting the flag?

And I think there are sooo many critics myself included because it's like we're dreaming. Here it is almost 30 yrs later and our best friends are back! When they left they were young boys now they have returned as mature men.

But we're still stuck on the way they use to look & act.

The Red Flag

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Red Flag, by James Connell, was the song of the British Labour Party, sung at every party conference. It was so well known in British popular culture that it often came as a surprise to working class British kids to discover that the tune was much better known in the rest of the world as Tannenbaum, or O Christmas Tree!

The workers' flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead;
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
Their life-blood dyed its every fold.

CHORUS:

Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Beneath its folds we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.


Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,
The sturdy German chants its praise;
In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung,
Chicago swells its surging song.

CHORUS:

Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Beneath its folds we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

It waved above our infant might
When all ahead seemed dark as night;
It witnessed many a deed and vow,
We will not change its color now.

CHORUS:

Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Beneath its folds we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

It suits today the meek and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place;
To cringe beneath the rich man's frown,
And haul that sacred emblem down.

CHORUS:

Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Beneath its folds we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

With heads uncovered, swear we all,
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark, or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn!

CHORUS:

Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Beneath its folds we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
