《Defenders Of The Flag》歌词

[00:00:01] Defenders Of The Flag - Bruce Hornsby

[00:00:24] It's coming any day said the captain

[00:00:29] It's coming any day now cried the priest

[00:00:35] The people in high places may defend you

[00:00:41] But son you better hope they keep the peace

[00:00:47] Can't you hear them calling

[00:00:49] Can't you see them shine

[00:00:52] The city halls are falling

[00:00:55] The defenders drink their wine

[00:00:58] And when the party's over

[00:01:01] Their stomachs start to sag

[00:01:04] Defenders, defenders of the flag

[00:01:15] The congregation's waiting at the altar

[00:01:21] They can't find the preacher anywhere

[00:01:26] They found him with the new girl from the choir

[00:01:32] Where they store the boxes of the book of prayer

[00:01:38] If these guys are the good ones

[00:01:41] I don't want to know the bad

[00:01:44] You wonder how it happened

[00:01:46] They just picked it up from dad

[00:01:50] While faded old glory is hanging like a rag

[00:01:55] Defenders, defenders of the flag

[00:02:30] The flag is flying high over the courthouse

[00:02:35] The wheels of justice never stood a chance

[00:02:41] The judge is down at charlie's on his lunch hour

[00:02:47] Checking out the picture show from france

[00:02:53] Carrying a fifth of whiskey

[00:02:55] In a dirty paper bag

[00:02:58] Threw the ball to home

[00:03:01] But they always missed the tag

[00:03:04] Faded old glory hanging like a rag

[00:03:10] Defenders, defenders of the flag
