Bad Man

(Album: Social Studies - 1999)

Hey everybody, we're having a war
Bigger and better than the one before
Remember that Panamanian strong man
Yeah, we took him to Miami and we locked him in the can

In Panama City they're living in tents
War is hell and it don't make sense
Still some folks can't understand
Why we kill a good people just to get a bad man

Hey everybody, we're having a war
So far haven't shown a whole lotta gore
Yellow ribbons and American flags
So far not a lot of body bags

Support the troops Sadam sucks
Bumper sticker, T shirt, earn a few bucks
Still some folk can't understand
Why we kill a good people just to get a bad man
Got a mustache

Hey everybody, we're having a war
When will it end and what is it for?
Two weeks, six months, maybe a year
We're gonna win but when's not clear

Fighting on foreign, sandy soil
For our way of life we want their oil
Still some folks can't understand
Why we kill a good people for a way of life
And to get a bad man
Kinda cruel hoax

Hey everybody, we're having a war
We got news coverage galore
Glued to the tube on CNN
Showing that video tape again

But after awhile it's no big deal
You flip over to The Simpsons, it seems more real
Still some folks can't understand
Why we kill a good people just to get a bad man

Now, hey everybody, we're having a war
Now we're knocking on Sadam's door
Let's get one thing understood
That Sadam is no damn good

He went in there and he raped Kuwait
We want him but now it's too late
We're gonna take out the buildings, bridges and the roads
Concrete, flesh and bone explodes
And if good people have to die
That's just the way war is, is why
Still some folks can't understand
Why we kill good people a whole lot of people...
