White Flags Lyrics

Lights dim with the window cracked
Twist the cap off the bottle, take a sip
Take a hit, fade to black
Promise that I'm winnin' ever since I made the pact
I've been going for it like I never planned to make it back

I'm on this novocaine and fuckin' feeling great
We're not even Stevens, I say that for Steven's sake
I need a way out, but by now it'll be the same
Take another Tylenol if you wanna relieve the pain
Meaning's changed, so I'm living what I rap about
I'm not acting this time, I'm acting out
Fuck your average, I want better than good enough
Surrender in the war, and if you were late then put em' up

Tonight we surrender and live it forever
White flags in the air, wave em' like you just don't care
Tonight we surrender and live it forever
White flags in the air, wave em' like you just don't care

How'd I end up in this place?
Pick me up off of the floor,
Swimming through nights full of drinks
Fuck if I make it to shore
I feel it up in my veins, I feel it up in my bones
It's taking over my brain, it's taking over control

Man, I'm used to fightin', I feel like a titan
This shit is so electric man, I should be throwin' lightning
So count me out of your life and take it to the bank
And raise your arms up if you're down to join the ranks
But then again, you can't lose if you don't play
You can't wear out your welcome if you don't stay
So I'm gone, I'll forget it and I won't wait
Hands in the air if you get it in your own way

Tonight we surrender and live it forever
White flags in the air, wave em' like you just don't care
Tonight we surrender and live it forever
White flags in the air, wave em' like you just don't care
Tonight we surrender and live it forever
White flags in the air, wave em' like you just don't care

Wave em' like you just don't care
Wave em' like you just don't care
And if you feel like you're going nowhere,
Wave em' like you just don't care
Cause tonight we surrender
Wave em' like you just don't care

Tonight we surrender and live it forever
White flags in the air, wave em' like you just don't care
Tonight we surrender and live it forever
White flags in the air, wave em' like you just don't care

(Hey! Oh! Wave em', wave em'! Hey! Oh!)
Wave em' like you just don't care
(Hey! Oh! Wave em', wave em'! Hey! Oh!)
Wave em' like you just don't care
(Hey! Oh! Wave em', wave em'! Hey! Oh!)
Wave em' like you just don't care
(Hey! Oh! Wave em', wave em'! Hey! Oh!)
Wave em' like you just don't care
Hey! Oh! Wave em', wave em'! Hey! Oh!
Wave em' like you just don't care

And if you feel like you're going nowhere
Wave em' like you just don't care
Cause tonight we surrender
Wave em' like you just don't care

Wave em' like you just don't care
Wave em' like you just don't care
Wave em' like you just don't care

Down With Webster is a six piece hip-hop band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada made up of Patrick Gillett (Pat) on Vocals and Guitar, Martin Seja (Bucky Buck) and Cameron Hunter (Cam) on Vocals, Tyler Armes on Bass and Keyboards, Andrew Martino (Marty) on Drums, and Dave Ferris (Diggy) as DJ. During live shows the band sometimes uses a three piece horn section.

Down With Webster formed in Toronto in the late 90's, beginning as a high school talent show jam band. They recently signed with Universal Motown in April 2009.

In 2007, after multiple demo releases, they released their self titled album and it was available on the Kill The 8 store, as well as merch.

And in 2008, Down With Webster won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music best unsigned artist in Canada award, and in 2009 both KISS front man Gene Simmons and Timbaland expressed interest in signing the band to their respective labels. According Timbaland, "That group is the most amazing and creative, innovative group that’s going to come out in 2010."

The band's debut EP Time to Win Vol. 1 was released on October 6, 2009, and the single "Rich Girl$" debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at #47 for the week of October 24, 2009, and peaked at #21 on January 9, 2010. The follow-up single "Your Man" was released to Canadian radio stations in January 2010. Since then it has peaked at #12 on the Canadian Hot 100, outperforming their debut single on the chart. In August 2010, the band released "Whoa is Me" as their last single on the "Time to Win, Vol. 1" EP.

From mid-October 2010 through late November, Down with Webster toured with 3oh!3 on the "Streets of Gold" tour. They gained a large American following during this. After the tour, the boys arrived back to Toronto to finish recording their follow-up album, "Time to Win, Vol. 2" before their own headlining tour, "Wintour 2011".

The band is from the Beaches neighbourhood in Toronto and have played the Beaches International Jazz Festival from 2003-2005 and can be seen walking around this neighbourhood in the summer.
