Billy Bragg - The Marching Song of The Covert Battalio текст песни

Here we are, seeking out the reds

Trying to keep the communists in order

Just remember when youre sleeping in your beds

Theyre only two days drive from the texas border

How can a country large as ours

Be scared of such a threat

Well if they wont work for us

Theyre against us you can bet

They may be sovereign countries

But you folks at home forget

That they all want what weve got

But they dont know it yet

Were making the world safe for capitalism

Here we come with our candy and our guns

And our corporate muscle marches in behind us

For freedoms 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 dont let that affect us

Were here to lend a helping hand

In case they dont elect us

How dare they buy our products

Yet still they dont respect us

Were making the world safe for capitalism

If you thought the army

Was here protecting people like yourself

Ive some news for you

Were here to defend wealth

Away with nuns and bishops

The good lord will help those that help themselves

Ive some news for you

Were here to defend wealth

Were making the world safe for capitalism
