We the Bomb

Hello boys and girls
This here is somewhat of a dated list
Of the 24 countries that the United States of America, my country, ‘tis of thee
Has bombed and attacked since the end of World War 2

We the Bomb!
We the Bomb!
We the Bomb!
We the Bomb!
We got bombs, we’re not scared to use them
We got bombs, we’re not scared to use them
We got bombs, we’re not scared to use them
Humans have rights, but we continually abuse them
We got bombs, we’re not scared to use them
