I Am a Small Republic

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am

I am

I am a brand new free democracy

The world sends words of hope and good will to me

Newsmen photograph my barricades

Send their finest con men to comment on the big parade

I am the favorite posting of the finest diplomats

And they educate me in the ways of our brother rats

I am the playground of the wealthy

A diamond in a sapphire sea

And they bring me casinos and the Formula 1 Grand Prix

I am a small republic

Aware of where I stand

I am a small republic

And my fate is in your hands

I am

Send me planes of foreign aid

Birth control and Gatorade

I am

Send me teachers, engineers

Buying plastic souvenirs

I am

Send me hustlers by the score

Motel chains that hide the shore

I am

Send me tourists by the ton

Drowned by wine and burned by sun

I am a small republic

And my fate is in your hands

I have my own bent terrorists

Plotting up a basement coup

I have religious fanatics

And a nuclear program too

I am a small republic

Aware of where I stand

I am a small republic

And my fate is in your hands

I am a small republic

Aware of where I stand

I am a small republic

And my fate is in your hands

I am

I am

I am

I am

I am
