A Few Words in Defense of Our Country - Randy Newman[00:00:00]

I'd like to say a few words in defense of our country[00:00:00]

Whose people aren't bad nor are they mean[00:00:10]

Now the leaders we have[00:00:19]

While they're the worst that we've had[00:00:23]

Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen[00:00:27]

It's teens to page the shawa[00:00:33]

Take the Caesars for example[00:00:36]

Why with the first few of them[00:00:38]

They were sleeping with their sister[00:00:40]

Stashed little boys in swimming pools[00:00:42]

And burned down the city[00:00:44]

And one of 'em one of 'em[00:00:47]

Appointed his own horse to be Counsel of the Empire[00:00:49]

That's like vice president or something[00:00:52]

No wait a minute that's not a very good example[00:00:54]

Here's one Spanish Inquisition[00:00:56]

Put people in a terrible position[00:01:01]

I don't even like to think about it[00:01:03]

Sometimes I like to think about it[00:01:06]

Just a few words in defense of our country[00:01:10]

Whose time at the top could be coming to an end[00:01:18]

We don't want your love[00:01:27]

Respect at this point's pretty much out of the question[00:01:31]

Times like these we sure could use a friend[00:01:35]

Hitler Stalin men who need no introduction[00:01:43]

King Leopold of Belgium that's right[00:01:52]

Everyone thinks he's so great[00:01:55]

Well he owned the Congo he tore it up too[00:01:58]

Took the diamond took the silver took the gold[00:02:02]

Know he left 'em with Malaria[00:02:08]

A president once said[00:02:14]

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"[00:02:15]

Now we're supposed to be afraid[00:02:20]

It's patriotic in fact color-coded[00:02:22]

What we supposed to be afraid of [00:02:26]

Why of being afraid[00:02:28]

That's what terror means doesn't it [00:02:30]

That's what it used to mean[00:02:32]

You know it pisses me off a little[00:02:37]

That this Supreme Court's gonna outlive me[00:02:38]

Couple young Italian fellas[00:02:42]

And a brother on the Court now too[00:02:43]

But I defy you defy me anywhere in the world[00:02:47]

Two Italians as tight asses[00:02:50]

As the two Italians we got[00:02:52]

And as for the brother[00:02:54]

Well Pluto's not a planet anymore either[00:02:55]

The end of an empire is messy at best[00:03:01]

This empire's ending like all the rest[00:03:07]

Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea[00:03:12]

We're adrift in the land of the brave[00:03:19]

And the home of the free[00:03:21]

Goodbye[00:03:23]

Goodbye[00:03:26]

Goodbye[00:03:30]
