That's why we spend 10 times more on "defence" than any other country on earth.

Would you prefer it if some country on earth spent 10x more on defense than the US?

We have to spend so much on defense because we are the world's police.

If you play fair with others, they play fair wit you.

Our government is a hypocritical government.

The best government that money can buy.

"Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching"
