I know we got ourselves a war,
They called in Marines
From near and far.
And if you think
They cannot do it,
Just wait 'til they
Get to it.
You will see a fight
Like you ain't seen before.
Now these Marines
Are pissed off as can be
'Cause they have messed
With our liberty.
If those idiots only knew it,
They have really blew it,
'Cause we ain't gonna
Let the matter stand.
We will chase their ass
From here to Kingdom Come!
'Cause what they did
Is really kind of dumb.
If they really knew
Our kind,
Then they are out of
Their stupid mind.
If they think
They'll get by
With flyin' bombs
Across our skies,
Then they got
A lot more thought
To come.
Now that we have
Those bastards
On the run,
I think it's gonna' be
A lot of fun
To chase those idiots
Down,
Drag their ass
Before the town,
And string them up
For their kind to see.
I think I speak for
A lot of guys,
Who feel this way
And really despise
The wrong they did,
'Twas ill advised.
We bore them naught
But friendship,
And they have let
The feeling slip.
Oh, well. . .
It was their time to go.
