The Old Guard
Anti-flag

The time has come to say goodnight (say goodnight)

The time has come to say goodbye (goodbye!)

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye

To the old guard, goodnight goodbye


Yeah!

Witness the setting sun, the tables have been turned

We will not suffer their reprise (suffer reprise!)

A brave new voice rings out

Intense, fearless, devout (half truths!)

A listless body now revived

Old stories fit with retreads

Half truths with truth left unsaid

Each time their lips moved we heard lies (they heard lies)


So now it's time to say goodbye

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye

Yeah! To the old guard,

Tonight we say, to the old guard

Goodnight, goodbye, yeah!


Witness the setting sun (the sun)

This century's crash and burn (and burn)

Autocracy dethroned by fire

Commissar doused in fire

Make note a million times

Their class war, deceit, lies (oh no)

Their compassion laced with despise

Yeah!

All of the hatred they bred, all the division they spread

We always knew they lived on lies (they were lies)


So now it's time to say goodbye

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye

To the old guard, tonight we say

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye


Bear witness to this setting sun

(Bear witness to this setting sun)

The dawning of a new age has begun

(The new age now has just begun)

From east to west, we watch this setting sun (whoa oh, oh)

The dawning of a new age has begun


And it's time, it's time to say goodbye

To the old guard, tonight we say

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye

Yeah! To the old guard, tonight we say

To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye

Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodnight, goodbye!

Goodnight, goodbye, goodnight, goodbye!

Goodnight, goodbye
