We Must Defend Ourselves

All the leaders gathered round and said 'we must defend ourselves',

'Hear-hear!' and a scatter of laughs said 'I think this might work well'.

We'll expand our country till it's much too big to fail,

When another nuclear power opposes, then we'll set sail.

To a proxy war in a desert slum, kill all their civilians,

We'll stop that fucking tyrant in their tracks while ours make billions.

I reckon we're all set, for the domino effect,

There was child who stood them up before in an effort impress.

So he could quell the threat of Islam, fucking scare the souls of communists,

There's a Union Jack sized hole in the palace of the terrorists,

And when we've cleaned them out, we'll have a poke around at the fountain of our spoils,

What a lucky coincidence, the terrorist had oil.

To my love,

And the leaders of the world

How do you sleep at night?

After all,

After all you've done,

I couldn't shut my eyes.

Don't despair, our influence is everywhere

When the tanks roll off the sand and the blood leaves the air

When men have finished killing you, if you're lucky enough to make it through.

Smile and rejoice at our western values.

Arrogant and righteous

Trailblazing fighters.

Happy to help you in your troubles till we think that you don't like us

How powerful is this empire we're making.

Can we build this building up and up if we cut down on the foundation?

To my love,

And the leaders of the world

How To my love,

And the leaders of the world

How do you sleep at night?

After all,

After all you've done.

I couldn't shut my eyes.

To my love,

And the leaders of the world

How To my love,

And the leaders of the world

How do you sleep at night?

After all,

After all you've done.

I couldn't shut my eyes.

To my love,

And the leaders of the world

How To my love,

And the leaders of the world

How do you sleep at night?

After all,

After all you've done.

I couldn't shut my eyes.
