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    What took you so long    Well it really won't matter (when it's)    Redland, Redland everywhere       I'll be glad when the flag goes up    It will be clearer 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 heroes    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
