Bruce Hornsby ~ Defenders Of The Flag


B. r. hornsby/john hornsby It's coming any day said the captain It's coming any day now cried the priest The people in high places may defend you But son you better hope they keep the peace Can't you hear them calling Can't you see them shine The city halls are falling The defenders drink their wine And when the party's over Their stomachs start to sag Defenders, defenders of the flag The congregation's waiting at the altar They can't find the preacher anywhere They found him with the new girl from the choir Where they store the boxes of the book of prayer If these guys are the good ones I don't want to know the bad You wonder how it happened They just picked it up from dad While faded old glory is hanging like a rag Defenders, defenders of the flag The flag is flying high over the courthouse The wheels of justice never stood a chance The judge is down at charlie's on his lunch hour Checking out the picture show from france Carrying a fifth of whiskey In a dirty paper bag Threw the ball to home But they always missed the tag Faded old glory hanging like a rag Defenders, defenders of the flag more free lyrics

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby

It's coming any day said the captain
It's coming any day now cried the priest
The people in high places may defend you
But son you better hope they keep the peace

Can't you hear them calling
Can't you see them shine
The city halls are falling
The defenders drink their wine
And when the party's over
Their stomachs start to sag
Defenders, defenders of the flag

The congregation's waiting at the altar
They can't find the preacher anywhere
They found him with the new girl from the choir
Where they store the boxes of the book of prayer

If these guys are the good ones
I don't want to know the bad
You wonder how it happened
They just picked it up from dad
While faded old glory is hanging like a rag
Defenders, defenders of the flag

The flag is flying high over the courthouse
The wheels of justice never stood a chance
The judge is down at charlie's on his lunch hour
Checking out the picture show from france

Carrying a fifth of whiskey
In a dirty paper bag
Threw the ball to home
But they always missed the tag
Faded old glory hanging like a rag
Defenders, defenders of the flag

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
