look away across the bay

yankee gunboat come this way

Uncle Sam gonna save the day

come tomorrow we all gonna pay

(Chorus:) and it's burn baby burn

when am I going to get my turn



something dead under the bed

local diplomats hang their heads

never mind what the government said

they're either lying or they've been misled



(chorus)



Phillipines was yesterday

Santiago and Greece today

how would they ever make

the late news pay

if they didn't have the CIA?



(chorus)



here it comes, the loaded gun

"must keep the commies on the run"

you'd buy or bury everyone

for liberty and life

and just plain fun



(chorus)
