Defenders Of The Flag - Bruce Hornsby[00:00:01]

It's coming any day said the captain[00:00:24]

It's coming any day now cried the priest[00:00:29]

The people in high places may defend you[00:00:35]

But son you better hope they keep the peace[00:00:41]

Can't you hear them calling[00:00:47]

Can't you see them shine[00:00:49]

The city halls are falling[00:00:52]

The defenders drink their wine[00:00:55]

And when the party's over[00:00:58]

Their stomachs start to sag[00:01:01]

Defenders, defenders of the flag[00:01:04]

The congregation's waiting at the altar[00:01:15]

They can't find the preacher anywhere[00:01:21]

They found him with the new girl from the choir[00:01:26]

Where they store the boxes of the book of prayer[00:01:32]

If these guys are the good ones[00:01:38]

I don't want to know the bad[00:01:41]

You wonder how it happened[00:01:44]

They just picked it up from dad[00:01:46]

While faded old glory is hanging like a rag[00:01:50]

Defenders, defenders of the flag[00:01:55]

The flag is flying high over the courthouse[00:02:30]

The wheels of justice never stood a chance[00:02:35]

The judge is down at charlie's on his lunch hour[00:02:41]

Checking out the picture show from france[00:02:47]

Carrying a fifth of whiskey[00:02:53]

In a dirty paper bag[00:02:55]

Threw the ball to home[00:02:58]

But they always missed the tag[00:03:01]

Faded old glory hanging like a rag[00:03:04]

Defenders, defenders of the flag[00:03:10]
