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
