I'd like to sayA few wordsIn defense of our countryWhose people aren't badNor are they meanNow, the leaders we haveWhile they're the worst that we've hadAre hardly the worstThis poor world has seen
Let's turn history's pages, shall we?
Take the Caesars, for exampleWhy, with the first few of themThey were sleeping with their sister, stashing little boys in swimming pools, and burning down the cityAnd one of 'em, one of 'em appointed his own horse to be Counsel of the EmpireThat's like vice president or somethingThat's not a very good example right now, is it?
But here's one:
Spanish InquisitionThat's a good onePut people in a terrible positionI don't even like to think about itWell, sometimes I like to think about it
Just a few wordsIn defense of our countryWhose time at the topCould be coming to an endNow, we don't want their loveAnd respect at this point's pretty much out of the questionBut in times like theseWe sure could use a friend
HitlerStalin
Men who need no introduction
King Leopold of Belgium, that's rightEveryone thinks he's so greatWell, he owned the CongoHe tore it up tooTook the diamondsTook the silverTook the goldYou know what he left 'em with?
Malaria
You know, a president once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"Now it seems like we're supposed to be afraidIt's patriotic, in factColor-codedWhat we supposed to be afraid of?Why, of being afraidThat'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 meCouple young Italian fellas and a brother on the Court now tooBut I defy you, anywhere in the world, to find me two Italians as tight ass as the two Italians we gotAnd as for the brotherWell, Pluto's not a planet anymore either
The end of an empireIs messy at bestAnd this empire's endingLike all the restLike the Spanish ArmadaAdrift on the seaWe're adrift in the land of the braveAnd the home of the free
GoodbyeGoodbyeGoodbye
Goodbye
