《A Few Words in Defense of Our Country(Live)》歌词

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

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

[00:00:10] Whose people aren't bad nor are they mean

[00:00:19] Now the leaders we have

[00:00:23] While they're the worst that we've had

[00:00:27] Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen

[00:00:33] It's teens to page the shawa

[00:00:36] Take the Caesars for example

[00:00:38] Why with the first few of them

[00:00:40] They were sleeping with their sister

[00:00:42] Stashed little boys in swimming pools

[00:00:44] And burned down the city

[00:00:47] And one of 'em one of 'em

[00:00:49] Appointed his own horse to be Counsel of the Empire

[00:00:52] That's like vice president or something

[00:00:54] No wait a minute that's not a very good example

[00:00:56] Here's one Spanish Inquisition

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

[00:01:03] I don't even like to think about it

[00:01:06] Sometimes I like to think about it

[00:01:10] Just a few words in defense of our country

[00:01:18] Whose time at the top could be coming to an end

[00:01:27] We don't want your love

[00:01:31] Respect at this point's pretty much out of the question

[00:01:35] Times like these we sure could use a friend

[00:01:43] Hitler Stalin men who need no introduction

[00:01:52] King Leopold of Belgium that's right

[00:01:55] Everyone thinks he's so great

[00:01:58] Well he owned the Congo he tore it up too

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

[00:02:08] Know he left 'em with Malaria

[00:02:14] A president once said

[00:02:15] "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

[00:02:20] Now we're supposed to be afraid

[00:02:22] It's patriotic in fact color-coded

[00:02:26] What we supposed to be afraid of

[00:02:28] Why of being afraid

[00:02:30] That's what terror means doesn't it

[00:02:32] That's what it used to mean

[00:02:37] You know it pisses me off a little

[00:02:38] That this Supreme Court's gonna outlive me

[00:02:42] Couple young Italian fellas

[00:02:43] And a brother on the Court now too

[00:02:47] But I defy you defy me anywhere in the world

[00:02:50] Two Italians as tight asses

[00:02:52] As the two Italians we got

[00:02:54] And as for the brother

[00:02:55] Well Pluto's not a planet anymore either

[00:03:01] The end of an empire is messy at best

[00:03:07] This empire's ending like all the rest

[00:03:12] Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea

[00:03:19] We're adrift in the land of the brave

[00:03:21] And the home of the free

[00:03:23] Goodbye

[00:03:26] Goodbye

[00:03:30] Goodbye
