[There are] red crosses on white shirts again;
Blood on linen.
There's a righteous cause, and blood on hands;
We've seen this before.
These new crusaders; these new holy wars;
Spilling out of our TV screens and into the street.
Blame will be apportioned and those with the smallest voice will be to blame.
There's an enemy who is no enemy at all;
But, for a free Sky Box and a low interest rate - who's counting?
These new patriots - over-rated and over-stated;
Flags and causes;
Red crosses,
Red herrings;
[They are] no reason to die.
