The Waitresses - Redland

I'll be glad when the flag goes up
We'll sing new songs and invent new slogans
There'll be a party and we'll burn the old pictures
I'll finally have some fun

I'll be glad when the flag goes up
New uniforms if they know my sizes
I'll make new friends when I go to the meetings
It won't be better but I'll settle for different

Redland, red
And my house is burning
Redland, red
Well it really won't matter (when it's)
Redland, redland everywhere

I'll be glad when the flag goes up
It will be clear what is right and wrong
I don't care about the leaders and the theories
But I know I'd just like a change

I'll be glad when the flag goes up
There'll be new names for the streets and the cities
Study the lives of the great new heros
I won't be happy but I'll be relieved

Redland, red
And my house is burning
Redland, red
What took you so long
Well it really won't matter (when it's)
Redland, redland everywhere
