Dag Nasty – White Flag lyrics
Detonate
This illusion
Wave a white flag, now I see
Capitulate
I surrender
Wave a white flag, when will I be free?

I never wanted to believe what you told me
I thought I knew best, I was so sure
All the doorways you held open for me
I just said thanks
Thought I was too pure
All the time I wasted gone
I can see it now
I can see it now

Detonate
This illusion
Wave a white flag, now I see
Capitulate
I surrender
Wave a white flag 'til I'm free
Detonate
This illusion
Detonate this feeling inside
Capitulate
I surrender
Wave a white flag
Wave a white flag, when will I be free?

Life goes in cycles
Of highs and lows
That's only something that time can show
I've been up
But now I'm down
But I'm hoping we could rebound
Okay here it is
I'm sorry
I made mistakes
I'm not the only one
I broke it down
Can we build it back again?
Can we build it back again?

(This goes out to everybody.)

Detonate
This illusion
Wave a white flag, now I see
Capitulate
I surrender
Wave a white flag, when will I be free?

It's an illusion
Detonate this feeling inside
It's an illusion
Wave a white flag, now I'm free
Wave a white flag, now I'm free
Detonate this feeling inside me
