David Rovics - Hang A Flag In The Window lyrics

We want a safer country And it's in God we trust So we'll bomb you during Ramadan Turn your world into dust But pull up on your boostraps And stand on your own two feet While we blow them off with cluster bombs Disguised as something to eat We stand for freedom And prosperity So we'll bomb your schools and hospitals And make sure you live in misery All you evildoers And your children and your wives With our B-52's we'll show you How we value civilian lives Give us your hungry, your restless We'll show you democracy A military trial Or detention indefinitely We'll have homeland security Thomas Ridge all hail We may not find the terrorists But we can throw the left in jail And we will all be safe And we shall have no fears Once our retinas have been scanned And all the walls have ears And we're all in good hands When the FBI is in the know We're sure they'll look after us Just like they did with COINTELPRO (Chorus) So hang a flag in the window And all hail to the chief Follow the leader And suspend your disbelief Our country right or wrong You know what to do Sing God bless America Oh that red, white and blue When facing anyone with boxcutters We'll say put up your dukes As we spend fifty billion On bombers and nukes We're a beacon of light And just to make the point We'll cut taxes on the rich And throw the poor into the joint Yes we'll bail out the airlines Put on your green fedoras And for all the laid-off workers We've got maquiladoras Yes capitalism will save us For have you ever seen a More convincing proof Than Enron and Argentina (Chorus) The Axis of Evil We'll bomb 'em down the skids There'll be no more terrorists Once we k** their kids People may starve And economies may crumble But those folks'll just Have to learn to be more humble And give us your money Debt repayments with aplomb While we scour the map For some targets left to bomb And as another city falls Upon our sacred American soil At least we got our Daisy Cutters And that Alaskan oil (Chorus)
