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.
