Bomb Ourselves
The President got on TV and there was nary a dry eye,He said he loved his country and mom and apple pieHe said he was a proud man and he liked his home fries grilled,And as for countries harboring terrorists, those people should be killedHe said we'd send our bombers to deal with rogue statesAnd all those evil people would have to meet their fatesSo it was with some trepidation that I looked up to the skies,'Cause I was driving past Fort Benning when I came to realizeThat 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 dayCivilians are their targets, folks just like you and meI guess that makes them terrorists, any idiot must agreeAnd I was heading further south for a vacation to spend some time hanging on the beachSoaking up some sun and playing volleyball with all my troubles out of reachAnd then I saw Brothers to the Rescue flying in the clouds above my headAnd 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 looseKilling Cubans at the Bay of Pigs and elsewhere, they say they've got some kind of excuseBut isn't terror terror irregardless if your victim is a fan of Karl MarxSo let's bring on the cluster bombs and napalm, kill off some people, fish and sharksWell I thought I would head north, go someplace where I might feel safeLetras de cancionesThese thoughts all seemed a bit unsettling, I was feeling a bit like a lost waifIt was then I thought I'd move to Costa Rica, though such a thing seemed terribly uncouthBecause I suddenly realized with horror, the terrifying clear and present truthI guess we're gonna have to bomb Washington, DC, 'cause terrorists are lurking all aroundSending soldiers, guns and money wherever death squads and dictators may be foundSo let's appreciate the situation, take your Orwell off the shelvesIf we are to listen to our President then we're going to have to bomb ourselves From Letras Mania
