_ Here we [B] are seeking out the [Am] Reds, trying to keep the Communists [Em] in order.
_ _ [Am] Just _ remember when [Em] you're sleeping in your beds, [B] they're only two days' drive from the Texas border.
_ [Em]
How can a country large as ours [G] be scared of such a threat?
[Em]
Well, if they won't work for us, [G] they're against us, you can bet.
[C]
They may be [F#m] sovereign countries, but [Am] you folks at [D] home forget
_ _ _ _ [Em] that they [D] all want what [Am] we've got, but they don't know it yet.

_ But [Am] freedom's just another [Em] word for nothing left to sell.
_ [B] _ _ _ We _
_ _ _ [Em] help the [G] multinationals when they cry out protect [Em] us.
The locals scream and shout a bit, but we don't let that affect us.
We're here [B] to lend a [Em] helping hand in case they [G] don't [D] elect us. _ _ _
_ How dare they buy our products, [Em] and still they don't respect us.
