[00:09.22]I’d like to say a few words
[00:14.39]In defense of our country
[00:19.68]Whose people aren’t bad nor are they mean
[00:29.22]Now the leaders we have
[00:34.01]While they’re the worst that we’ve had
[00:38.20]Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen
[00:43.67]
[00:47.09]Take the Caesars for example
[00:50.24]Why within the first few of them
[00:52.72]They were sleeping with their sister
[00:54.69]Stashing little boys in swimming pools
[00:57.39]And burning down the City
[00:58.93]And one of ‘em, one of 'em
[01:01.46]Appointed his own horse Consul of the Empire
[01:03.85]That’s like vice president or something
[01:06.66]That’s not a very good example, is it?
[01:10.92]But wait, here’s one, the Spanish Inquisition
[01:13.37]They put people in a terrible position
[01:16.87]I don’t even like to think about it
[01:20.71]Well, sometimes I like to think about it
[01:23.72]
[01:25.15]Just a few words in defense of our country
[01:34.16]Whose time at the top
[01:37.11]Could be coming to an end
[01:42.24]Now we don’t want their love
[01:46.93]And respect at this point is pretty much out of the question
[01:52.50]But in times like these
[01:55.01]We sure could use a friend
[01:57.54]
[02:00.51]Hitler. Stalin.
[02:06.41]Men who need no introduction
[02:10.76]King Leopold of Belgium. That’s right.
[02:14.23]Everyone thinks he’s so great
[02:18.11]Well he owned The Congo
[02:21.34]He tore it up too
[02:23.96]He took the diamonds, he took the gold
[02:26.10]He took the silver
[02:27.84]Know what he left them with?
[02:33.54]Malaria
[02:36.35]
[02:38.00]A President once said,
[02:40.67]"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
[02:44.26]Now it seems like we’re supposed to be afraid
[02:47.86]It’s patriotic in fact and color coded
[02:51.10]And what are we supposed to be afraid of?
[02:54.32]Why, of being afraid
[02:56.50]That’s what terror means, doesn’t it?
[02:58.61]That’s what it used to mean
[03:01.53]
[03:04.98]You know it pisses me off a little
[03:07.30]That this Supreme Court is gonna outlive me
[03:11.02]A couple of young Italian fellas
[03:12.49]and a brother on the Court now too
[03:15.83]But I defy you, anywhere in the world
[03:19.28]To find me two Italians as tightass as the two Italians we got
[03:23.78]And as for the brother
[03:25.67]Well, Pluto’s not a planet anymore either
[03:30.14]
[03:31.88]The end of an empire is messy at best
[03:38.06]And this empire is ending
[03:41.76]Like all the rest
[03:45.06]Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
[03:52.13]We’re adrift in the land of the brave
[03:55.42]And the home of the free
[03:57.52]Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
