Here we areseeking out the reds Trying to keep the communists in order Just remember when youâ??re sleeping in your beds Theyâ??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 wonâ??t work for us Theyâ??re against us you can bet They may be sovereign countries But you folks at home forget That they all want what weâ??ve got But they donâ??t know it yet Tra-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la Weâ??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 freedomâ??s just another word 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 donâ??t let that affect us Weâ??re here to lend a helping hand In case they donâ??t elect us How dare they buy our products Yet still they donâ??t respect us Tra-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la Weâ??re making the world safe for capitalism If you thought the army Was here protecting people like yourself Iâ??ve some news for you Weâ??re here to defend wealth Away with nuns and bishops The good lord will help those that help themselves Iâ??ve some news for you Weâ??re here to defend wealth Tra-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la Weâ??re making the world safe for capitalism
