Who Stands Alone
Eleven thousand soldiers lay beneath the dirt and stone,
all buried on a distant land so far away from home.
For just a strip of dismal beach they paid a hero’s price,
to save a foreign nation they all made the sacrifice.
And now the shores of Normandy are lined
with blocks of white,
Americans who didn't turn from someone else’s plight.
Eleven thousand reasons for the French to take our side,
but in the moment of our need,
they chose to run and hide.
Chirac said every war means loss,
perhaps for France that’s true,
for they've lost every battle since the days of Waterloo.
Without a soldier worth a damn to
be found in the region,
the French became the only land to
need a Foreign Legion.
You French all say we're arrogant.
Well hell, we've earned the right--
We saved your sorry nation when
you lacked the guts to fight.
But now you've made a big mistake,
and one that you'll regret;
you took sides with our enemies,
and that we won't forget.
It wasn't just our citizens you spit on when you turned,
but every one of ours who fell the day the towers burned.
You spit upon our soldiers, on our pilots and Marines,
and now you'll get a little sense of just
what payback means.
So keep your Paris fashions and your
wine and your champagne,
and find some other market that will
buy your aeroplanes.
And try to find somebody else to wear
your French cologne,
for you're about to find out what it means
to stand alone.
You see, you need us far more than we ever needed you.
America has better friends who know how to be true.
I'd rather stand with warriors who have
the will and might,
than huddle in the dark with those whose
only flag is white.
I'll take the Brits, the Aussies, the Israelis and the rest,
for when it comes to valor we have seen
that they're the best.
We'll count on one another as we face a moment dire,
while you sit on the sideline with a sign
“friendship for hire.”
We'll win this war without you and
we'll total up the cost,
and take it from your foreign aid, and
then you'll feel the loss.
And when your nation starts to fall, well Frenchie,
you can spare us,
just call the Germans for a hand, they know
the way to Paris.
