The Lyrics

Midi for The Ship That Never Returned available at: www.pdmusic.org/work
(Musical introduction:)

(1.)
On a German day, when red flags were flying
The crooked cross in the wind,
Said their small leader, with the Chaplain moustache
Now let our new age begin;
Just give us your guns, secure life for every one,
This lie was not discerned;
Many in his lines, waiting for gun grabbings,
Were Jews that have never returned.

(CHORUS)
Freedom's never returned, It is never returned
Here's a lesson yet unlearned;
If you give up your freedom for security,
The freedom is never returned.

(2.)
Then the British said as their crime rate was soaring,
We'll control guns some more;
Now we see, the ID Cards and the cameras
Just like Ninteen Eighty Four."
As a gleem of hope, not a deadly danger,
And the trap of the unlearned;
It's that siren song, nanny state's false blessing
For their freedom is never returned.

(CHORUS)
Freedom's never returned, It is never returned
Here's a lesson yet unlearned;
If you give up your freedom for security,
The freedom is never returned.

(3.)
We need one more law, Daine Feinstein told us,
It's my Assault Weapons ban;
Pass this and our crime rate will come crashing down,
So I hope for sure we can.
Senator Feinstein, now be shown your wicked ways,
In this verse that you've earned;
Passing NAZI laws, is not the best tribute
For the Jews that never returned.

(CHORUS)
Freedom's never returned, It is never returned
Here's a lesson yet unlearned;
If you give up your freedom for security,
The freedom is never returned.

Very fine words and truth contained in them. Did you care to respond to my question about how you came up with your name? I didn't really pose it as a question, I guess--in your parody yesterday.

"If you give up your freedom for security, the freedom is never returned." Thank you... could you please explain this to the right-wing nutcases in the U.S.?
Coral Snake - July 28, 2004 - Report this comment
Basically I came up with the screen name I use on the political forums I'm involved with and here at AmIRight for two reasons: The first is that the Eastern, Texas and and Arizona Coral Snakes are the only members of the family (Elapidae) that the Egyptian Cobra belongs to in the United States and I believe that the Egyptian Cobra is the snake that the Rod of Arron became in the Biblical book of Exodus due to a miricle of God. (This is one of the few parts of the Bible where a snake is depicted as a "good guy" so to speak instead of Satanic.) The second comes form Civil War history where it is said that a Coral Snake rather than a minie ball, revolver ball or grapeshot caused the first casualty of that war with his venom.
Civil War II ? - July 29, 2004 - Report this comment
So what yo sayin is that yo wanna second civil war in the US? Or maybe yo just settin' yoself up for comparisons? Yo might be onto somethin tho, Kerry with a beard would be lookin like Lincoln. And redneck Bushboy has already proven he has the strategical mastermind of Lee. Brute power can only conquer terrain, never the hearts of men.

I appreciate your comments and agree and you did good with your humorous content. Every country where citizens gave up the right to bear arms lost almost all of their freedom. I believe the right to bear arms is inherent and doesn't need to be allowed by law. The right to defend yourself for the right reasons belongs to everyone.
