| Hey!
|
| Yo!
|
| We’re the United States Marines
|
| We know you’ve all been killing each other
|
| For at least two thousand years
|
| But we’re here now
|
| To protect the family
|
| Of Christian heroin warlords
|
| Most friendly to the West
|
| So you knock off this fighting
|
| Or we’ll tell Mom
|
| Ever notice news
|
| Is taged like TV wrestling shows
|
| With Reagans and Khaddafis cast
|
| As cartoon villains and heroes
|
| Or those wildlife «documentaries»
|
| Where a lion from a zoo
|
| Kills a deer tied down ahead of time
|
| At the perfect camera angle
|
| When lemmings balk at dying for Disney
|
| They’re just hurled off the cliff…
|
| We are gathered here today
|
| To take photos of the President
|
| Pretending to mourn these brave young me Who came home from Beirut
|
| Gift-wrapped in body bags-
|
| A truck bomb blew them to bits
|
| We knew they were sitting ducks
|
| We sacrificed 'em, Aztec style
|
| So we could use their dead meat
|
| To cook up war fever back home
|
| So make sure you take lots of pictures
|
| And slant your news our way
|
| Just like in Wild Kingdom
|
| We first tied down the prey
|
| We want people boiling for revenge
|
| In their living rooms
|
| So we can go play shoot-em-up
|
| Anywhere we choose
|
| And our backers can cash in Without the public asking questions |
