Tekst piosenki

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)
