I?d like to say a few words in defense of our country   Whose people aren't bad nor are they mean   Now the leaders we have while they're the worst that we've had   Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen      Take the Caesars, for example   Why with the first few of them   They were sleeping with their sister   Stashed little boys in swimming pools   And burned down the city      And one of 'em, one of 'em   Appointed his own horse to be Counsel of the Empire   That's like vice president or something   No wait a minute that's not a very good example      Here's one Spanish Inquisition   Put people in a terrible position   I don't even like to think about it   Sometimes I like to think about it      Just a few words in defense of our country   Whose time at the top could be coming to an end   We don't want your love   Respect at this point's pretty much out of the question   Times like these we sure could use a friend      Hitler, Stalin, men who need no introduction   King Leopold of Belgium, that's right   Everyone thinks he's so great   Well, he owned the Congo, he tore it up too   Took the diamond, took the silver, took the gold   You know what he left 'em with? Malaria      A president once said   "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"   Now we're supposed to be afraid   it's patriotic, in fact, color-coded      What 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 pisses me off a little   That this Supreme Court's gonna outlive me   Couple young Italian fellas   And a brother on the Court now too      But I defy you, anywhere in the world   To find me two Italians as tight asses as the two Italians we got   And as for the brother   Well, Pluto's not a planet anymore either      The end of an empire, is messy at best   This empire's ending like all the rest   Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea   We're adrift in the land of the brave   And the home of the free      Goodbye   Goodbye   Goodbye
