Lyrics for Rambozo the Clown

We got a deadly toy To brainwash your boy An egocentric muscle thug Kicks butt on screen like a bat out of hell Bullshitter in the Indochina shop Pull the string in his back, we win the war That we never should have started at all 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 Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo the clown Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo the clown 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 Brawn over brain means a happy ending 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 Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo the clown Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo the clown 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 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 Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo the clown Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo the clown Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo the clown Rambozo, Rambozo Rambozo! Hey Rocky Watch me pull a massacre out of my pants Again?!
