Lyrics

We Americans We Americans have lived in a country That's been very successful technologically And we instinctively think, we instinctively think That every problem must have a psychological solution The atom bomb was supposed to be a perfect weapon The atom bomb gave us nuclear superiority for quite a while And please notice That in that period of nuclear superiority Was the first time America had ever been kicked around and lost the war To, to somе little two by five country across the Pacific And thе Russians today, in Afghanistan, with all their nuclear superiority What good does it do them? (What good does it do them?) The weapon, the weapon The wonder-working weapon (The weapon) The weapon The wonder-working weapon has to work (Wonder-working weapon, wonder-working weapon) (Wonder-working weapon, wonder-working weapon) (Wonder-working weapon, wonder-working weapon) (Wonder-working weapon, wonder-working weapon) We're starving education And the recruits are getting dumber And the weapons are getting more and more complicated How bad you gonna run 'em?
