[Verse 1]
The nearer the border
The higher they hoist the flag
Like the father of the house wants the world to know
The race he'd like his daughters to shag
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the louder they sing their anthem
The more likely their history graced
With that badge kissing, fanfare blowing
Idiot painted face
[Chorus]
Everyone stands up
When they hear those trumpets sound
Everyone, stand up
In a good old-fashioned town
If you can't tell what they're singing
It's usually who they'd like to drown
In a flag-waving, chest-beating
Good old-fashioned town
[Verse 2]
When someone starts a sentence
With "I'm not racist, but--"
You know that the sentence is bound to end
With where they think they should be put
The nearer the border
The higher they hoist the flag
Like the father of the house wants the world to know
The race he'd like his daughters to shag
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the louder they sing their anthem
The more likely their history graced
With that badge kissing, fanfare blowing
Idiot painted face
[Chorus]
Everyone stands up
When they hear those trumpets sound
Everyone, stand up
In a good old-fashioned town
If you can't tell what they're singing
It's usually who they'd like to drown
In a flag-waving, chest-beating
Good old-fashioned town
[Verse 2]
When someone starts a sentence
With "I'm not racist, but--"
You know that the sentence is bound to end
With where they think they should be put
