Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes - we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes - we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers - war without tears
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers - war without tears
Games without frontiers - war without tears
Games Without Frontiers by Peter Gabriel
Updating the post below, from the Raleigh News & Observer:
A high school's controversial ban on clothing bearing flags stemmed from gang-related fights among students, Sampson County's school superintendent said today.The Sampson School system on Wednesday lifted the flag ban at Hobbton High School after it came under fire from parents and the American Civil Liberties Union, among others.
The policy had prohibited students from wearing clothing with any kind of flag, including the American flag. As reports circulated by e-mail and on Internet chat rooms, a flurry of protests erupted.

In a statement this morning, Superintendent L. Stewart Hobbs Jr. said school officials had imposed the ban because of problems last year with students wearing foreign flags on their clothing.
Students were showing their gang colors through the flags, leading to fights and other disruptions, Hobbs said. So the principal thought it best to ban all flags in light of a previous free speech suit against the Sampson County schools, Hobbs said.
