[Verse 1: Jonathan Irons (Kevin Spacey)]
Democracy? Democracy
Democracy is not what these people need, it's not even what they want
America has been trying to install democracy in Nations for a century
And it hasn't worked one time!
These countries don't have the basic building blocks to support a democracy
Little things like "we ought to be tolerant of those who disagree with us"
"We ought to be tolerant of those who worship a different God than us"
That a journalist ought to be able to disagree with the president
And you think that you can just march into these countries based on some
Fundamentalist religious principals, drop a few bombs, topple a dictator
And start a democracy?!!
Ha
Give me a break
People don't want freedom
They want boundaries, rules
Protection from invaders and from themselves
People need a leader who can give them both the support
And the constraignts to keep chaos at bay
You give them that, and they'll follow
And that's where I come in.
