[Verse 1]
A E 2500 miles away from the American border A There's a boat humming along with a 100 miles worth of gas D It's got some fishermen out there in it A F#7 Little do they know but here in a minute B7 E A They'll be sunk down to the bottom and dead from an American blast
[Verse 2]
A E Now our infallible intelligence knows a whole lot about them A See, these are narco terrorists with drugs strapped to their back D A F#7 Now, it's the same intelligence that had the perfect wisdom in the real good sense B7 E A To know there's weapons of mass destruction hidden in Iraq.
[Verse 3]
E A Well, if your leader is a fugitive of American justice E A And if your people need a liberation from their own soil D A If you're a threat to our national security E A Well, we're probably just in need of your oil A How much fentanyl does Venezuela make? E Well, Johnny, that's about 0% E See, China ships the precursors into Mexico N.C. A They mix them in a lab, then they press them into pills and ship them up to Uncle Sam
[Verse 4]
A Oh, well then, how much cocaine does Venezuela produce? E Well, Johnny, that's a goose egg, too. E But don't you worry your little head, E Cuz they're all just going to be like dead. D Some call it murder. D Some call it justice. A F#7 You can call it whatever you like, B7 But dry your lipro tears cuz you know around here E We call a presidentially authorized lethal kinetic strike. E Well, if it looks like al-Qaeda and smells like ISIS, E You're headed down the road for a refugee crisis.
[Verse 5]
A E Well, they can dangle the Nobel carrot out in front of the mule, A But I guess it wasn't orange enough to really pull the cart. D Pete and Marco, come out of the closet A F#7 And say you're coming on in for that oil deposit. B7 E A The only war you'll ever end is the one you start.
