I'm Sure Ben Franklin Wanted It This Way
Tom Flannery
Here's a list of what I can say...
"liberate, support, and the american way.."
I can talk about war but only if I woof
I'll have my mic cut off it I goof
I can spill my blood for liberty
but if i ask questions they'll inject me
to make me as good as I can be
it's for my own good don't you see
These are things I can do and say
and a few I can't in Americay....
I can march but only off to war
o marching in front of department stores
I can hang only the red white and blue
blue white and red and they'll hang you
I can accept what's been termed classified
or spend my days smelling like formaldehyde
I can beat my chest with monkey pride
or be wiretapped from the inside
These are things I can do and say
and a few I can't in Americay....
I can watch Fox News with a paper and pen
and jot down notes when you say when
better not turn it off and look to the east
where the boys are gathered at Cheney's feast
I can support the troops and watch them die
but can't dare out loud actually wonder why
I can vote republican down the line
to save the country from the raghead slime
These are things I can do and say
and a few I can't in Americay
I'm sure Ben Frankin wanted it this way...
in junior's Americay
