David Rovics - Bomb Ourselves lyrics

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 k**ed 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 d**h squads of Colombia who commit a ma**acre 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 k**ing 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, k** 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 d**h 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
