Id 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 seenTake 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 cityAnd 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 exampleHere'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 itJust 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 friendHitler, 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 You know what he left 'em with? MalariaA 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-codedWhat we supposed to be afraid of? Why of being afraid That's what terror means, doesn't it? That's what it used to meanYou 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 tooBut I defy you, anywhere in the world To find me two Italians as tight asses as the two Italians we got And as for the brother Well, Pluto's not a planet anymore eitherThe 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 freeGoodbye Goodbye Goodbye
