Defense

My soul is hurting And I know I cause my own disgrace My eyes are blurring And I strain to see beyond this place And you know all too well that I don't know what to do And I know all too well that I'm nothing without you. Within you I'm full of emotes You don't even have to hurt my pride These words aren't forced I'm sewn open I have nothing left to hide And you knew all too well that this is how it would be And I knew all too well that it might come back to me yeah I lost all confidence, when I found my innocence It fills my heart with openness And you are my defense Oh you are my defense We're almost there now I see home and it's just around the bend And I know that somehow We're gonna make it til the end And you knew all too well that I would lose my way But I knew all too well that you would save the day I lost all confidence when I found my innocence It fills my heart with openness And you are my defense I lost all confidence when I found my innocence It fills my heart with openness And you are my defense You are my defense Oh my my my my defense

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 Let's turn history's pages, shall we? Take the Caesars for example Why within the first few of them They were sleeping with their sister Stashing little boys in swimming pools And burning down the City And one of 'em, one of 'em Appointed his own horse Consul of the Empire That's like vice president or something That's not a very good example, is it? But wait, here's one, the Spanish Inquisition They put people in a terrible position I don't even like to think about it Well, 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 Now we don't want their love And respect at this point is pretty much out of the question But in 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 He took the diamonds, he took the gold He took the silver Know what he left them with? Malaria A President once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" Now it seems like we're supposed to be afraid It's patriotic in fact and color 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 pisses me off a little That this Supreme Court is gonna outlive me A couple of 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-ass 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 And this empire is 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.
