I live in a city but I don't speak the language
But everybody speaks mine
Not the best environment for a paranoid mind
I live in a city
But I don't know the history
But fortunately it doesn't know mine
But I guess it's just a matter of time
Will you call my name when I am gone
Will you fly my flag will you sing my song
Would you even care if I'm not there
Would you scream out loud that I make you proud
My son
I go back to the city that I owned as a small boy
But the streets they don't remember me and they don't care
Can't have been that much to remember me for
Will you call my name when I am gone
Will you fly my flag will you sing my song
Would you even care if I'm not there
Would you scream out loud that I make you proud
I'm trying to cheat the ticking of time
Will you call my name when I am gone
Will you fly my flag will you sing my song
Would you even care if I'm not there
Would you scream out loud that I make you proud
That I make you proud my son
