Poem
WE GOT US A BRAND NEW AMERICA By Roy Merritt Meet our new friend Vladimir He looks really good to me I’m pretty sure he can teach us some stuff He was a colonel in the KGB Those kind of fellas can get things done Can make straight down seem up Can show us how to silence our critics Show us how to shut ‘em up Yes we got us a brand new America It’s the one we been hankering for From now on we’ll be sittin’ pretty If we can avoid us a civil war In order for that we gotta be committed We gotta bring a lot pain We gotta show we’ll take no guff From those darein’ to complain So break out your big stash of weapons That is if you’re on my side But don’t you dare show no consternation Cos’ that we won’t abide Yes we got us a brand new America The one we been hankering for From now on we’ll be sittin’ pretty If we can avoid us a civil war Who gives a damn what our friends might say Or even our sacred creed We’ve embarked on a brand new day And all in the name of greed There’s money enough to go around And maybe even a lot of war We might to get us to kill a lot of people Right here and on foreign shores Yes we got us a brand new America It’s the one we been hankering for From now on we’ll be sittin’ pretty If we can avoid us a civil war So say goodbye to your Constitution Any nonsense of civil rights Say goodbye to your ideal America My side has won the fight And even though we might’ve played dirty Compromised the fourth estate We’ll all be standin’ around and croonin’ At this nation’s inevitable wake Yes we gotta us a brand new America It’s the one we been hankering for From now on we’ll be sittin’ pretty If we can avoid us a civil war Meet our new friend Vladimir He really looks good to me I’m pretty sure he can teach us some stuff He was colonel in the KGB Those kind of fellas can get things done Can make straight down seem up Can show us how to silence our critics Show us how to shut ‘em up We intend to shut ‘em up We’re gonna shut ‘em up Yes we gotta us a brand new America It’s the one we been hankering for From now on we’ll be sittin’ pretty If we can avoid us a civil war If we can avoid us a civil war Avoid us a civil war
