I Blew Up The United States Lyrics

The song I Blew Up The United States is performed by Was (Not Was) in the album named Are You Okay? in the year 1990 .



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
