Defenders Of The Flag Lyrics

Defenders Of The Flag lyrics

It's coming any day said the captain

 It's coming any day now cried the priest

 The people in high places may defend you

 But son you better hope they keep the peace

 

 Can't you hear them calling

 Can't you see them shine

 The city halls are falling

 The defenders drink their wine

 And when the party's over

 Their stomachs start to sag

 Defenders, Defenders of the flag

 

 The congregation's waiting at the altar

 They can't find the preacher anywhere

 They found him with the new girl from the choir

 Where they store the boxes of the book of prayer

 

 If these guys are the good ones

 I don't want to know the bad

 You wonder how it happened

 They just picked it up from dad

 While faded old glory is hanging like a rag

 Defenders, defenders of the flag

 

 The flag is flying high over the courthouse

 The wheels of justice never stood a chance

 The judge is down at Charlie's on his lunch hour

 Checking out the picture show from France

 

 Carrying a fifth of whiskey

 In a dirty paper bag

 Threw the ball to home

 But they always missed the tag

 Faded old glory hanging like a rag

 Defenders, defenders of the flag
