I don't think this is a great lyric at all. There are better ways to get your point across then advocating burning a flag which means so much to millions of people. Can you imagine the outrage if someone sang about burning the aboriginal flag?Strange to see a band that are usually so articulate and well-spoken to stoop to the levels of the rent-a-crowd, feral buffoons we see burning the flag every second week while protesting against something they know nothing about.
And by the way, this song was written by Rob Hirst, not Garrett.
"I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn"
