Lyrics
Percussion Bomb
(c) 2003 Kimon / Ultrascene Entertainment
Build the fountain in the oil and we?ll prop up the dictator
Put the oil in the barrel and we?ll keep him there to stay
Put the barrel on the tanker and we?ll put him on the payroll
Get the tanker to New Jersey and we?ll look the other way
Get New Jersey in the playoffs and we?ll sell some time to London
Get the playoffs on the satellite so China sees the show
Get the satellite in orbit and we?ll pay for it with oil
When the orbit?s over Baghdad and the bombs know where to go
This is no time for remaining calm
This is what?s called a cause for alarm
Georgie?s gonna drop the percussion bomb
Georgie?s gonna drop the percussion bomb
Get Baghdad on the radar then obliterate the city
Get the radar on the networks so that North Korea sees
Get the networks to buy Rumsfeld and we?ll talk deregulation
Get the Rumsfeld show on cable and let Wolfowitz emcee
Get the cable show on credit and just add it to the invoice
Get the credit from the favors to the corporate CFO
Get the favors for the contracts to re-build a ruined city
Trade the contracts for elections it is simple quid pro quo
This is no time for remaining calm
This is what?s called a cause for alarm
Georgie?s gonna drop the percussion bomb
Georgie?s gonna drop the percussion bomb
Get elected buy the Federal Judge and throw out all the ballots
Get the Judge to take vacation when the corporations cheat
Hold vacation from the workers and then take them to the cleaners
Make the workers build the fountain and then burn all their receipts
Build the fountain in the oil and we?ll prop up the dictator
Put the oil in the barrel and we?ll keep him there to stay
Put the barrel on the tanker and we?ll put him on the payroll
Get the tanker to New Jersey and we?ll look the other way
