Enola Gay
And bombs away!
In Vietnam it was only napalm.
(And a little agent orange, for our own troops)
And if they complain
We’ll bomb them again
Until they cry out,"Uncle!" (Sam - that is)
As if that's not enough
We did all that stuff,
And then call ourselves exceptional.
We’re exceptional all right
At causing great fright
Among all those who aren’t just like us.
For a country as we
With such a short history
We’ve had more than our share of wars
First Britain (twice)
And then, in a thrice,
We attacked Spain and Mexico.
And in between
Keeping our weapons keen.
We turned to our own shores for battle.
Weapons of mass destruction?
Seven thousand eight hundred thirteen
July 1-3 1863.
That’s mass destruction.

Dead people don’t care if it was from chemicals, radiation or bullets.

One parting thought:
In 1967, I put a bumper sticker on my car that read, “Bombing to End War is Like F**king to Reduce Population”.
