When the German battleship Bismarck sailed into the North Atlantic in May 1941, her sailors sang Wir Fahren Gegen Engelland (We Sail Against England). Little did they know it was to be a death cruise for most of them, for the British found the Bismarck and sank her. Are we, the United States, like the Bismarck, sailing on a death cruise? Are the Obama administration’s economic and foreign policies driving us to a watery grave? Are we well on the way to what the radical left so fiercely desires, a toothless, bankrupt and humiliated America?
Wir fahren gegen Engelland!
The Bismarck’s crew did sing
Wir fahren gegen Everyman!
Obama’s cry doth ring
Everyone except of course
The unions large and small
As well as every other source
The Democrats can call
Their friends and allies who will give
Their votes and labor to
The rest of us will get the shiv
Thrust home by you know who
The North Koreans build their nukes
And threaten one and all
Say CIA and other spooks
We’re heading for a fall
The State Department shakes its head
And issues reprimands
But by and large when all is said
We’re sitting on our hands
Obama now owns all the stock
In Chrysler and GM
His health care plan’s a laughingstock
Except to us and them
We’ll soon be France or Sweden
If Obama has his way
‘Cause there’s no one here impedin’
His fierce drive to make us pay
For all the sins committed
By the US over time
There’s no excuse permitted
We must pay for every crime
With fahren gegen Engelland
Still ringing in our ears
We watch Obama’s fascist hand
And swallow down our fears
