Pax Americana Tango
by Mary Gilbert, 6/2/03
(To be sung to the tune of
Hernando's Hideaway)
I know
a dark and secret plot
To get us more
than what we've got
It's neat, it's cool
it's really hot
It's called the Pax America- na Hey!
It star- ted back
in ninety one
When Bush the First was having fun
And now he's passed it to his son
He'll rule the Pax America- na way.
Da da da da...(etc) The Project for the New American Century
Da da da da...(etc) Has laid it out in full detail for us to see
Da da da da...(etc) With bases all around the globe, the world succumbs.
We'll have it all The rest can crawl We'll toss them crumbs.
We won't have to
negotiate
We have the strength to dominate
And no- one cares
how much they hate
Our guts It's Pax America- na's day.
Da da da da...(etc) We had often wondered what our future was to be
Da da da da...(etc) Ah but now we know that empire is our destiny
Da da da da...(etc) And if any country says our ways they do not like,
They'll learn their place We'll play our ace Preemptive strike.
There's just one ques- tion I would bring
As we
begin to have this fling
How long can we
sustain this thing
That's called the Pax America- na, Hey!
