The Red Flag Lyrics

Lyric discussion by bobkindles 

Cover art for The Red Flag lyrics by Billy Bragg

A powerful leftist song, it makes me very emotional whenever I hear it. Needless to say, the song is about the struggle for improvements in the conditions and position of workers and challenging the rule of the bourgeoisie. The song is timeless - it applies to all historical periods in which Socialists have given their lives in the revolutionary struggle.
