Bruce Hornsby And The Range - Defenders Of The Flag Lyrics

Send "Defenders Of The Flag" ringtone to your cell

"It's coming any day now" 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

And faded old glory hanging like a rag

Defenders defenders of the flag oh

Oh 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 yeah

Yeah oh
