The sun sets on the desert
Of Thee Evil Empire, oh yeah
The seeds of Mass Destruction
Are still very much alive, oh, oh
All we got were lousy weapons
Piled up from the Cold War
The free market wrecked our country
To the black market we go
Hand grenades way up to nuke toys
From Afghanistan to Latvia
We will sell to anyone
Who wants the Bomb?
So the conga line of missiles
Dances out of storage sites, oh yeah
Past the checkpoints left abandoned
Kuz the guards all took a bribe, oh yeah, oh, oh
And on all the hot spots
Gettin' tired of being stomped on
By great satans and their neighbors
This will change if we have the bomb
Spread gift-wrapped do-it-yourself kits
Pay our debts to the World Bank
Before you can say Islam
Before you can say Saddam
Who's got the bomb? Islamic Bomb.
For a real Axis of Evil
Keep an eye on free enterprise
Like our top secret project
At a warehouse right in town
No one here knows all the details
We just ship components out
Selling to the highest bidder
If we don't, someone else will.
To third parties in Third countries
You can't stop what you can't find
This is what we wanted all along
Now the arms race can go on and on
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1...
Piss ant little countries
They were getting in our way, ah, ah
Trying to claim their soil's riches
Tellin us we have to pay, ah-ah
So we tricked their wacky rulers
To go wipe each other out
Russian Roulette regime change
In a sea of mushroom clouds
Dying peasants slave at gunpoint
All their oil is finally ours.
Life will never be
Quite like it was
Hide in our Green Zones
Til Jesus comes
But we fixed you all
With Thee Islamic Bomb
Islamic Bomb.
Of Thee Evil Empire, oh yeah
