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

[00:00:00] Written by：Randy Newman

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:28] A president once said

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

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

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

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

[00:02:46] Why of being afraid

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

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

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

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

[00:03:03] Couple young Italian fellas

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

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

[00:03:12] To find me

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:51] Goodbye

[00:03:54] Goodbye

[00:03:58] Goodbye
