Ballad of the We'ins
by Cailtin Morski
To the Tune of Turkey in the Straw
We’re all little soldiers in a great big war
We have to remember what we’re fighting for
Wal-Mart, Apple pie and buns of steel
All those stupid foreigners can’t know how we feel
We are the big U S of A!
We’re on a rant! Get out of our way!
We’ll roll you over if you’re too small
‘Cause we’re the most important, you don’t matter at all!
Homogenization sticks to us like tar
If you don’t have to think, life is easier by far
Just wave your flag and smile and don’t question US
They’re wrong and you know it, just don’t make a fuss.
We are the big U S of A!
We’re on a rant! Get out of our way!
We’ll roll you over if you’re too small
‘Cause we’re the most important, you don’t matter at all!
The news and the media will tell you all
That you need to know to keep you on the ball
Where to find the mall that has the latest gear
If you wear red, white and blue you’ve nothing to fear.
We are the big U S of A!
We’re on a rant! Get out of our way!
We’ll roll you over if you’re too small
‘cause we’re the most important, you don’t matter at all!
We'll roll over you 'cause you're so small
We're the most important, you don't matter at all!
