Rambozo the Clown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We got a deadly toy
To brainwash your boy
An egocentric, muscle thug
Kicks butt on screen like a brat out of hell
Bullshitter in the Indochina shop
Pull the string in his back
We win the war

[Pre-Chorus 1]
That we never
Should have started at all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A Cabbage Patch terrorist to call our own
Who rewrites history with a machine gun
Don't think about it; kill it!
That's what we teach your child

[Chorus]
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo the clown
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo the clown

[Verse 2]
To draft-age kids
It sure looks fun:
"Kill 'em all
And let God sort 'em out"
Like video games, no mess
Just fuel for a mass lapse of common sense
You can be Don Quixote
We'll dice you with our windmill blades

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Brawn over brain
Means a happy ending

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G.I. Joe in the cereal bowl
Gray shrapnel-flavored chewing gum
Mass murder ain't just painless
Now that we've made it cute

[Chorus]
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo the clown
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo the clown

[Bridge]
War is sexy, war is fun
Iron Ego, Red Dawn
Be a wolverine, you'll rule the hills
Just get some guns and Cheerios
Any kid can conquer Libya
Just steal a fighter plane

[Pre-Chorus]
Look who came home in a wheelchair
V.A. hospital, they don't care
"We're the machine, you're just a tool"
Who fell for the myth of...

[Chorus]
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo the clown
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo the clown

[Chorus]
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo the clown
Rambozo, Rambozo
Rambozo

[Outro: Spoken]
"Hey, Rocky
Watch me pull a massacre out of my pants"
"Again?!"
