WE'LL BUY A FLAG
by Robert Morgan Fisher (copyright 2006 Extended Family Music - BMI)

The flag wavers, they all came to town
The day the Twin Towers crumbled to the ground
Like a comfort woman in the Second World War
Old Glory was pimped out into a two-bit whore
Offering a discount rate in some alley off the boulevard
We were strongly encouraged to display her in our front yard

(CHORUS)
But we'll buy a flag
We'll buy a flag
We'll buy a flag when we get our country back

Then there came the stickers on the cars
The way those rebels like to wave the stars and bars
They had cute slogans, like: These colors do not run
But what they really wanted was our daughters and our sons
To plant that flag in some foreign glory hole
So they could justify the elections that they stole

(CHORUS)

This is not a snarky snivel or a gripe
Swear to God, I dearly love those stars and stripes
But nowadays you know it isn't very often
You see those flag wavers taking time to cover coffins
Cause they don't like it when you confuse them with the facts
They just hide behind their own little Patriot Act

(CHORUS)

The other day, went grocery shopping with my boys
There was a kiosk, selling flags next to the toys
They waved it high and I felt perplexed and proud
When I explained to them that we just weren't allowed
I said the old red white and blue had been disgraced
But God willing things will change and one of these days ...

(CHORUS)


THE JESTER KING
by Robert Morgan Fisher copyright 2005 Extended Family Music - BMI

There once was a bad king who gave up his crown
For running his kingdom right into the ground
But the will of the people could not be denied
And into the castle a new king did ride
The friends of the old king could not understand
Why peace and prosperity now ruled the land

The old king's horseshit and the old king's friends
Couldn't restore him to power again
Couldn't restore him to power again

Now the son of the old king was a white-knuckle drunk
Whatever he touched, it soon turned to junk
He was drunker and dumber than most common folk
Everything that he said, come out as a joke
The old king said: "Your majesty, I have a request, sir.
Would you employ my son as your Kingdom's Court Jester?"

But the truth was the king and all the king's friends
Were itching to get back in power again
Were itching to get back in power again

The new king considered the old king's request
And to be fair, the new king was quite fond of jest
So with malice towards none, he filled the position
With the son of the old king, to ease the transition
The loudest and dumbest of peasants rejoiced
It seemed that the new king had made a good choice

But the old king's horseshit and the old king's friends
Would soon tip the balance of power again
Would soon tip the balance of power again

The first day the Jester showed up with a grin
But he didn't tell jokes, he merely broke wind
He played to the crowd's ignorant superstitions
And accused disbelievers of downright sedition
He lied and he laughed and much mud he did sling
Till the crowd just went crazy and murdered the king

The old king's horseshit and the old king's friends
Had swindled the peasants and come back again
Had swindled the peasants and come back again

The Jester declared war on several nations
Then took off on one long extended vacation
He looted the treasure for what it was worth
Even destroyed that stone that said "Peace on Earth"
Miles of wilderness were burned and laid bare
And the rhetoric and hate spewed out tons of hot air

The Jester King's horseshit and the Jester King's friends
Were filling the kingdom with foul air again
killing the kingdom with foul air again

But far to the south, the storm clouds did gather
and people detected a change in the weather
"This hot air you're spewing has started to fester --
Oh where is our savior, oh where is the Jester?"
But the Jester King laughed as the people made haste
the soft black underbelly of the Kingdom laid waste

The Jester King's horseshit and the Jester King's friends
Couldn't put things back together again
Couldn't put things back together again

The bodies were floating, the levee was breached
The gates of the kingdom were soon under siege
Let this be a lesson to those that would rule
A kingdom won't last at the hands of a fool
And the people's blind trust in a God that would save them
Only works if they use the brain that God gave them

The Jester King's horseshit and the Jester King's friends
Made sure that they'd never taste freedom again
Made sure that they'd never taste freedom again
