Lyrics The Marching Song of the Covert Battalions - Billy Bragg
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
