Lyrics

World War III

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was down in Southern Watch flying my F-16

When lead called for the picture and AWACS came back

But I saw a contact on my scope and it was runnin' hot

Although I wasn't targeted I went ahead and shot

Now I never even noticed that my nose was pointed east

And that Iranian fighter pilot was surprised to say the least

I tried to take it back but by then it was too late

And a million angry Arabs started heading for Kuwait

So here's to you fighter pilots victors of the war

That got us all this real estate that's backed up to the shore

And now oil's a buck a barrel and it's all because of me

'Cause I'm the motherfucker who started World War III

Now you knew the fuckin' French would have to get into the mess

American audacity well it had to be addressed

So they sent their fighters to the sky but it was all in vain

As they sought asylum in the American commonwealth of Spain

So the English crossed the channel and it was a sight to see

When the queen dropped down her trousers and she shit on Normandy

And if you think we were happy when we drank all of their wine

You should've seen the Polacks when they got to cross the Rhine

So here's to you fighter pilots victors of the war

That got us all this real estate that's backed up to the shore

And now they whistle Dixie in the streets of gay Paris

'Cause I'm the motherfucker who started World War III

The Chinese threatened action when we overran Saigon

And then a thousand drunken frat boys had to moon them from Taiwan

But the bombing of the embassy in Moscow broke the ice

Now that was just an accident and it happened only twice

So they launched their MiGs two by two never to return

No matter how much we shot 'em down they never seemed to learn

Their suicidal bravery made us feel bad for them

So on Tuesdays it was heaters only, Wednesday BFM

So here's to you fighter pilots victors of the war

That got us all this real estate that's backed up to the shore

And now China's just a word that you read in history

'Cause I'm the motherfucker who started World War III
