Ode From The Cave

You don’t poke your finger in America’s eye
If you don’t want a piece of American Pie
Ain’t no cherries, its only the pits
Till you give us Binney, we ain’t gonna quit
You’ve done tweaked the nose
Of the gentle sleeping giant
You’ve done pulled the whiskers
Of the sleeping gentle lion

He’s an elongated desert horse rat

With a heart of hate and a dirty head wrap

He sits in his cave by the candle light

Telling Al Queda boys, “Go on out and fight

That American bunch is now everywhere

Them sinners are saying we invited them here

Oh, boys, I think we might have

Made a mistake, Oh, boys

I think we made a big mistake

 

Chorus:

After all we’ve done to those guys

They’re still undivided, stronger and wise

This thing ain’t going according to plan

Nobody doesn’t like that President man

Oh, boys, I think we made a big mistake

We underestimated the American way

 

Now the desert’s loud, the fritters won’t bake

Can’t sleep when everything quivers and quakes

I wonder what’s happened to our rag tag band

Them Yanks are tearing up the Taliban

It’s dark and dank down here in the cave

Ain’t seen no sun since their judgment day

 

Oh boys, I think we might have made a mistake

We underestimated the United States

Well boys it’s gettin’ mighty smelly down here

I would venture out if I could change my gear

They’d pick me out like a snow white crow

I’m the long tall most wanted man you know

Oh, boys, I think we made a big mistake

We underestimated the United States

 

Well, this thing ain’t going according to plan

G. W. Bush is determined to win

After all we’ve done to those guys

We’ve only made them stronger and wise

Oh, boys, I think we made a big mistake

We underestimated the United States

We underestimated the United States”
