I Blew Up The United States - Was (Not Was)

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
