Red Flag
The Landfills

Another Friday night down at the club,
Scopin' out the hotties and lookin' for love.

I'm not really picky, she's just gotta take me home,
'cuz I live with my mom, never leaves me alone.

I was checkin' out this hottie on the dance floor,
Dancin' all dirty, dancin' like a whore.

She stepped to the bar and gave me a wink,
So I sauntered on up and bought her a drink.

Ridin' in her car, there on the dashboard
A bobblehead Jesus is starin' at me.
But I'm not gonna think about it,
'cuz she's givin' me signals; they're easy to read.

We got to her house and she parked her ride.
She opened up the door and we walked inside.

I said "Hey, Baby. Where's the john?"
I knew she couldn't wait 'til we got it on.

I turned the corner and walked down the hall.
Shelves of "Beanie Babies" lined the walls.

Then I saw her bathroom in "Ladybug",
The toilet doiley, and the spotted rug.

Sittin' on the can, so many pamphlets.
What's this "Watchtower" they're talking about?
And I see a cross on the window.
Just little red flags, prob'ly don't mean a thing.

Back down the hall to the living room.
She was sittin' on the couch, so I made my move.

She said "That's not wha' I brought you for."
"I brought you home so you could know The Lord(tm)".

I said "Hey, Baby-- if that's your scene."
"If that's what it takes to make you scream."

She said "Get lost! Get out!"
So I took a long walk back to mama's house.

Walkin' down the block, can't understand it.
It really looked like it was such a sure thing.
I'm not sure how I missed them,
All these little signs she was wavin' at me.

Jon Eric - "Red Flag"

Happy Birthday to the president
He turns infinity today
He is gonna live forever
Get his own damn holiday

[Chorus]
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could rule the world
I wish I could write the headlines
I wish I could get two girls
But I don't wanna have to brainwash
That shit always makes me gag
I don't ever wanna have to kill someone
waving no red flag

Happy death day to the infidulls [sic]
To the treasonous, cause we're all wrong
We all know that we should roast now
As the nation screams along

(chorus)

Happy birthday to the president
He'll address the world today
I wish I could run the nation
But run it in my own damn way

I don't want to live forever
I don't want to rule the world
I don't want to write the headlines
...but I still want two girls
I won't ever have to brainwash
I won't ever need to gag
I won't ever have to kill no one
waving no red flag

Waving no red flag.

RED FLAG / King Arthur

Middle of the night, behind "employees only" doors,
Feedin' letters through the shredders on the 27th floor.
Destroying any documents that could be used to prove
What they knew, when they knew, and who they told it to.

Shoulda raised a red flag / shoulda made some bells ring
Somebody should've questioned / but nobody said anything
Driving through the darkness / headlong down the main drag
When all you get are green lights / it oughta raise a red flag.

Sitting with some lawyer in his thousand dollar suit
Concocting testimony that nobody can dispute.
And if we get our stories straight, and everybody plays along
When we tell will be the truth, even if it's wrong.

(chorus) (somebody should've spoke up...)

There's a knock upon the door, it's your turn to testify
You've come this far, so now you are committed to the lie.
You tell 'em what you tell 'em, though you know it isn't true
And you hope that everybody else is as honest as you.

(chorus) (somebody should've screamed out...)

red flag
words by eric
music by brody

i am a girl
i'm like in high school
i met a boy the other day
he's like really cute (red flag)
wears cutoff jeans (red flag)
always scratching in his pocket (red flag)

i am a boy
dad bought me a lexus
gonna drive around and pick up girls
met one on the street (red flag)
she's wearing braces (red flag)
want's to be my girlfriend (red flag)

we went on a trip
we loved the landscape
we stopped in for a stack of pancakes
the waitress was sweaty (red flag)
pulled a fork out of her pocket (red flag)
she gave me a straw and it was wet (red flag)

red flag (music from m.c. kids, bubble bobble)

My name is Lao and I live in China
I've got a job making fireworks
I've got a red flag I wave it all day long
Glory be to Chairman Mao

My name is Juarez and I live in Cuba
I roll cigars and I lick sugarcane
I've got a red flag I wave it all day long
Glory be to President Fidel

My name is Josef and I'm six feet under
While alive I was the man of steel
I was buried in a red flag
Glory be to the People's party

My name is Marc and I live in Idaho
My mom took my red flag away from me
I'll just wait `til the revolution comes
For my mom will be the first against the wall
