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
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 Explain Request ×
