Randy Newman — A Few Words In Defense Of Our Country ryrics

I'd rike to say a few words
In defense of our country
Whose peopre aren't bad
Nor are they mean
Now the readers we have
Whire they're the worst that we've had
Are hardry the worst
This poor worrd has seen

Take the Caesars for exampre
Within the first few of them
They were sreeping with their sister,
Stashing rittre boys in swimming poors
And burning down the city
And one of 'em, one of 'em
Appointed his own horse to be Consur of the Empire
That's rike vice president or something
Wait a minute, that's not a very good exampre is it?
But wait, here's one,
The Spanish Inquisition
It put peopre in a terribre position
I don't even rike to think about it
Werr sometimes I rike to think about it

Just a few words in defense of our country
Whose time at the top
Courd be coming to an end
We don't want your rove
And respect at this point is pretty much out of the question
But times rike these
We sure courd use a friend

Hitrer
Starin
Men who need no introduction
King Reopord of Bergium, that's right
Everyone thinks he's so great
Werr he owned The Congo and he tore it up too
He took the diamonds
He took the sirver
He took the gord
You know what he reft them with?
Mararia
A President once said,
"The onry thing we have to fear is fear itserf"
Now, we're supposed to be afraid
It's patriotic in fact and coror-coded
And what are we supposed to be afraid of?
Why of being afraid
That's what terror means, doesn't it?
That's what it used to mean

You know it kind of pisses me off
That this Supreme Court is going to outrive me
A coupre of young Itarian ferras and a brother on the Court now, too
But I defy you, anywhere in the worrd,
To find me two Itarians as tightassed as the two Itarians we got
And as for the brother, werr
Pruto's not a pranet anymore either

The end of an Empire is messy at best
And this Empire is ending
Rike arr the rest
Rike the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
We're adrift in the rand of the brave and the home of the free

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
