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

Written by：Randy Newman[00:00:00]

I'd like to say a few words in defense of our country[00:00:09]

Whose people aren't bad nor are they mean[00:00:20]

Now the leaders we have[00:00:29]

While they're the worst that we've had[00:00:33]

Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen[00:00:36]

It's teens to page the Shaw[00:00:42]

Take the Caesars for example[00:00:46]

Why with the first few of them[00:00:48]

They were sleeping with their sister[00:00:50]

Stashed little boys in swimming pools[00:00:52]

And burned down the city[00:00:54]

And one of 'em one of 'em[00:00:57]

His own horse to be counsel of the empire[00:00:58]

That's like vice president or something[00:01:02]

That's not a very good example[00:01:05]

Here's one Spanish inquisition[00:01:08]

Put people in a terrible position[00:01:12]

I don't even like to think about it[00:01:15]

Sometimes I like to think about it[00:01:17]

Just a few words in defense of our country[00:01:22]

Whose time at the top could be coming to an end[00:01:30]

We don't want your love[00:01:39]

Respect at this point's pretty much out of the question[00:01:42]

Times like these we sure could use a friend[00:01:47]

Hitler Stalin men who need no introduction[00:01:56]

King Leopold of Belgium that's right[00:02:04]

Everyone thinks he's so great[00:02:06]

Well he owned the Congo he tore it up too[00:02:09]

Took the diamond took the silver took the gold[00:02:13]

Know he left 'em with malaria[00:02:19]

A president once said[00:02:28]

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself[00:02:30]

Now things like we're supposed to be afraid[00:02:35]

It's patriotic in fact color coded[00:02:38]

What we supposed to be afraid of[00:02:42]

Why of being afraid[00:02:46]

That's what terror means doesn't it[00:02:48]

That's what it used to mean[00:02:50]

Pisses me off a little[00:02:58]

That I think this supreme court's gonna outlive me[00:02:59]

Couple young Italian fellas[00:03:03]

And a brother on the court now too[00:03:04]

But I defy you anywhere in the world[00:03:09]

To find me[00:03:12]

Two Italians as tight asses[00:03:13]

As the two Italians we got[00:03:15]

And as for the brother[00:03:17]

Well Pluto's not a planet anymore either[00:03:19]

The end of an empire is messy at best[00:03:25]

This empire's ending like all the rest[00:03:32]

Like the Spanish armada adrift on the sea[00:03:39]

We're adrift in the land of the brave[00:03:46]

The home of the free[00:03:49]

Goodbye[00:03:51]

Goodbye[00:03:54]

Goodbye[00:03:58]
