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
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 Explain Request ×
