A Few Words in Defense of Our Country - Randy Newman

I'd like to say a few words in defense of our country

Whose people aren't bad nor are they mean

Now the leaders we have

while they're the worst that we've had

Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen

It's teens to page the shawa

Take the Caesars, for example

Why with the first few of them

They were sleeping with their sister

Stashed little boys in swimming pools

And burned down the city

And one of 'em, one of 'em

Appointed his own horse to be Counsel of the Empire

That's like vice president or something

No wait a minute that's not a very good example

Here's one Spanish Inquisition

Put people in a terrible position

I don't even like to think about it

Sometimes I like to think about it

Just a few words in defense of our country

Whose time at the top could be coming to an end

We don't want your love

Respect at this point's pretty much out of the question

Times like these we sure could use a friend

Hitler, Stalin, men who need no introduction

King Leopold of Belgium, that's right

Everyone thinks he's so great

Well, he owned the Congo, he tore it up too

Took the diamond, took the silver, took the gold

know he left 'em with? Malaria

A president once said

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

Now we're supposed to be afraid

it's patriotic, in fact, color-coded

What we supposed to be afraid of?

Why of being afraid

That's what terror means, doesn't it?

That's what it used to mean

You know, it pisses me off a little

That this Supreme Court's gonna outlive me

Couple young Italian fellas

And a brother on the Court now too

But I defy you defy me, anywhere in the world

two Italians as tight asses

as the two Italians we got

And as for the brother

Well, Pluto's not a planet anymore either

The end of an empire, is messy at best

This empire's ending like all the rest

Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea

We're adrift in the land of the brave

And the home of the free

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
