Song | Potshot Heard 'Round the World |
Artist | Dead Kennedys |
Album | Bedtime for Democracy |
作词 : Biafra, Dead Kennedys ... | |
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 staged 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 men 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 |
