Hornsby, Bruce - Defenders Of The Flag Lyrics
It's coming any day now said the captain
It's coming any day now cried the priest
The people in high places may defend you
But son you better hope they keep the peace
Can't you see them shine
The city halls are falling
The defenders drink their wine
And when the party's over
Their stomachs start to sag
Defenders, defenders of the flag
The congregation's waiting at the altar
They can't find the preacher anywhere
They found him with the new girl from the choir
If these guys are the good ones
I don't want to know the bad
You wonder how it happened
They just picked it up from dad
Faded old glory hanging like a rag
Defenders, defenders of the flag
The flag is flying high over the courthouse
The wheels of justice never stood a chance
The judge is down at Charlie's on his lunch hour
Checking out the picture show from France
Carrying a fifth of whiskey
In a dirty paper bag
Threw the ball to home
But they always missed the tag
Faded old glory hanging like a rag
Defenders, defenders of the flag

Conscious lyrics a drop!!
Lyrics my yute!!!!!
Something we could stand to hear a little more often.
Not sensitive! Sophisticated!
GG - either you are making a very sensitive joke that's going over my head, or you have missed the point of this song. If the latter, listen again!
What Andrew means is probably hearing songs like this more often.
Our bombers have downloaded this into their cd players and crank it when they fly a mission over N. Korea .
29 years later and this song still kicks ass. Fresh as its first day.
