Flags
Oh Land

It's incredibly handsome,

The teeth so white

You smile to the cameras

And speak for your rights

While I empty the fridge and kick off the sneaks

And pop off the lid and then

Here's what I would have done

Would have never done wrong

And the telly's still on while…


[Chorus:]

You say that you did it

You came up with it

You ran to the summit waving all the flags

I would be

I could be

Miraculously

Tomorrow I'm coming

Waving all the flags


And the tank's still rolling

The dust still itch

My face still nowhere

While you're spirits' at risk

And I empty the fridge and kick off the sneaks

And pop off the lid and then

Here's what I would have done

Would have never done wrong

And the telly's still on while…


[Chorus:]

You say that you did it

You came up with it

You ran to the summit waving all the flags

I would be

I could be

Miraculously

Tomorrow I'm coming

Waving all the flags


It's too easy to sit and point your finger like a hypocrite

But I'm gonna be the first to admit

That it's hard not to quit

When you're outrun, and everything drown

In the horizon

Gone gone gone


Climb the ladder, climb the ladder

Gonna show you one day I can do the walk

Aiming at, aiming at the top

‘Cause I am a sharp shooter


[Chorus:]

You say that you did it

You came up with it

You ran to the summit waving all the flags

I would be

I could be

Miraculously

Tomorrow I'm coming

Waving all the flags


Doctors' appointment at 10:30

Remember to refill Percocet

Get milk

Cucumber, tomato

1 six pack

Matches

2pm meeting Maja for the Uruguay game

Call Farra

Do the laundry

Tax returns


…and then maybe save the planet!
