Bomb Ourselves |
| The President got on TV and there was nary a dry eye |
| He said he loved his country and mom and apple pie |
| He said he was a proud man and he liked his home fries grilled |
| And as for countries harboring terrorists, those people should be killed |
| He said we’d send our bombers to deal with rogue states |
| And all those evil people would have to meet their fates |
| So it was with some trepidation that I looked up to the skies |
| 'cause I was driving past Fort Benning when I came to realize |
| That I guess we’re gonna have to bomb Columbus, Georgia, home of the infamous |
| SOA |
| 'Cause they train the death squads of Colombia who commit a massacre every day |
| Civilians are their targets, folks just like you and me |
| I guess that makes them terrorists, any idiot must agree |
| And I was heading further south for a vacation to spend some time hanging on |
| the beach |
| Soaking up some sun and playing volleyball with all my troubles out of reach |
| And then I saw Brothers to the Rescue flying in the clouds above my head |
| And I thought this trip might not be too restful if tomorrow I am dead |
| 'Cause I guess we’re gonna have to bomb Miami, with all those insurgents |
| running loose |
| Killing Cubans at the Bay of Pigs and elsewhere, they say they’ve got some kind |
| of excuse |
| But isn’t terror terror irregardless if your victim is a fan of Karl Marx |
| So let’s bring on the cluster bombs and napalm, kill off some people, |
| fish and sharks |
| Well I thought I would head north, go someplace where I might feel safe |
| These thoughts all seemed a bit unsettling, I was feeling a bit like a lost waif |
| It was then I thought I’d move to Costa Rica, though such a thing seemed |
| terribly uncouth |
| Because I suddenly realized with horror, the terrifying clear and present truth |
| I guess we’re gonna have to bomb Washington, DC, 'cause terrorists are lurking |
| all around |
| Sending soldiers, guns and money wherever death squads and dictators may be |
| found |
| So let’s appreciate the situation, take your Orwell off the shelves |
| If we are to listen to our President then we’re going to have to bomb ourselves |
