Burn
Fret up 2
G Am7 Bm C D
G Am7
Look away across the bay
D7 G
Yankee gunboat come this way
G Am7
Uncle Sam gonna save the day
D7
Come tomorrow were all gonna pay
Chorus
G C
Its burn baby burn
D G
When am I going to get my turn
G C
Its burn baby burn
D G
When am I going to get my turn
Something dead under the bed
Local diplomats hang their head
Never mind what the government said
They're either lying or theyve been mislead
Chorus
Phillipines was yesterday
Santiago and Greece today
How will they ever make the late news pay
If they didn't have the CIA
Chorus
Instrumental
Here it comes, the loaded gun
Must keep the commies on the run
Youd probably bury everyone
For liberty, life and just plain fun
Chorus repeat ad infinitum
