Union Jack Curtains

[Verse 1] Union Jack hanging crooked in the window Mum's fingers trembling as she pulls the thread Daily Mail scattered on the coffee table "We've got to show them that we're proper bred" [Chorus] Red white and blue, what's it mean to you? Curtains in the window, keeping others out of view This is how we prove we belong But deep inside we know something's wrong [Verse 2] Dad sits quiet at the dinner table While she waves her passport like a holy book Twenty years of love reduced to papers Brexit means Brexit, that's all it took Neighborhood watch with their judging eyes Making sure we're "British" enough to survive [Bridge] Tick the right boxes Sign on the line Play their fucking game Pretend we're fine But these flags won't hide What's underneath A family divided By beliefs [Verse 3] Now she's polishing the window daily Like it's some kind of patriotic shrine While her son sits writing bitter verses About the curtains that became a battle line [Outro] Red white and blue, what's it prove? Just fabric hanging, nothing new But in this house, we're coming undone Under the flag, we're coming undone
