| [00:00.00] | 作曲 : Newman |
| [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. |
