Was (Not Was) — I Blew Up The United States lyrics

Lyrics

I set charges in Maine and Florida
In Washington and California
I gave fair warning and lit the fuse
Right at the beginning of the network news
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
I put plastique in the Statue of Liberty
And my nerves got a little bit jittery
Poor little lady, there goes her head
Her arm is melting and her eyes turned red
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
It’s a free country, I’m within my rights
Every child should have a weapon
And a ton of dynamite, my hand is steady
And my eye is cold, a voice inside my head
Keeps saying, «Do as you are told»
All I did was listen to the Fates
I blew up the United States
Now little bits of Texas
Are floating up in space
I blew up the United States
