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
|
