Billy Bragg - The Marching Song Of The Covert Battalions lyrics
Your rating:
Here we are, seeking out the Reds Trying to keep the communists in order Just remember when you're sleeping in your beds They're only two days drive from the Texas border How can a country large as ours Be scared of such a threat Well if they won't work for us They're against us you can bet They may be sovereign countries But you folks at home forget That they all want what we've got But they don't know it yet We're making the world safe for capitalism Here we come with our candy and our guns And our corporate muscle marches in behind us For freedom's just another world for nothing left to sell And if you want narcotics we can get you those as well We help the multi-nationals When they cry out protect us The locals scream and shout a bit But we don't let that affect us We're here to lend a helping hand In case they don't elect us How dare they buy our products Yet still they don't respect us We're making the world safe for capitalism If you thought the army Was here protecting people like yourself I've some news for you We're here to defend wealth Away with nuns and bishops The Good Lord will help those that help themselves I've some news for you We're here to defend wealth We're making the world safe for capitalism
