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
|
|
