Lyrics

Islamic Bomb

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.

The sun sets on the desert of Thee Evil Empire

The seeds of mass destruction

Are still very much alive

All we got were lousy weapons

Piled up from the Cold War

The free market wrecked our country

To the black market we go

Hand grenades way up to nuke toys

From Afghanistan to Latvia

We will sell to anyone who wants the bomb

So the conga line of missiles

Dances out of storage sites

Past the checkpoints left abandoned

Cuz the guards all took a bribe

And on all the hot spots

Getting tired of being stomped on

By great Satans and their neighbors

This will change if we have the bomb

Spread gift wrapped do it yourself kits

Pay our debts to the World Bank

Before you can say Islam

Before you can say Saddam

Who's got the bomb?

Islamic bomb

For a real Axis of Evil

Keep an eye on free enterprise

Like our top secret project

At a warehouse right in town

No one here knows all the details

We just ship components out

Selling to the highest bidder

If we don't, someone else will

To third parties in third countries

You can't stop what you can't find

This is what we wanted all along

Now the arms race can go on and on

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Piss ant little countries

They were getting in our way

Trying to claim their soil's riches

Telling us we have to pay

So we tricked their wacky rulers

To go wipe each other out

Russian Roulette regime change

In a sea of mushroom clouds

Dying peasants slave at gunpoint

All their oil is finally ours

Life will never be quite like it was

Hide in our Green Zones

'Til Jesus comes but we fixed you all

With Thee Islamic bomb
