God Bless America
“While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. ”
God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
Eh, I have an American flag in my house, along witha Portuguese, maltese, and a stupid Guinness sponsored tricolour – selling our flag to corporations is wrong – and tell me, what material are they made of over there?
The one I fly outside is a woven nylon kinda’ material. I have a Gadsen flag downstairs that is some kind of immitation silk and my Irish tri-color is made of cotton. Oh a Gadsen flag is the really old American flag that is yellow and has a coiled rattlesnake on it and the words, “Don’t Tread on Me”.
Three things:
You have to sing God Bless America because your National Anthem is impossible to sing unless you have the vocal range of Minnie Ripperton
We have an Aussie flag atop a bit of vinidex plumbers pipe. My brother thought it would look patriotic, I think it looks ‘tacky’. If you’re going to fly a flag you need a big pole . . (no jokes please)
Our National Anthem is . . . well . . . oddly constructed but sounds OK.\
Ostray-lee-uns let us rejoice for we are young and free
With golden soil and wealth for toil
our land is girt (WTF) by sea
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts of beauty rich and rare
on histry’s page let evry stage advance Ostray-lya fair!
DOH! . . forgot to change the name. We’re obviously serious today.
Gadsen flag – don’t know if you like video games but I think that was featured in Metal gear Solid 2 as the emblem of the Sons Of Liberty.
It’s white and red striped, right?
