Fast Blues shuffle


 A                                E
2500 miles away from the American border
A                                                      A
There's a boat humming along with a 100 miles worth of gas
              D                                         A                  F#7
It's got some fishermen out there in it, little do they know but here in a minute
           B7                          E                     A
They'll be sunk down to the bottom and dead from an American blast

Now our infallible intelligence knows a whole lot about them
See, these are Narco-terrorists with drugs strapped to their back
Now, it's the same intelligence that had the perfect wisdom in the real good sense
To know there's weapons of mass destruction hidden in Iraq


Bridge:
              E                                A
Well, if your leader is a fugitive of American justice
            E                                       A
And if your people need a liberation from their own soil
            D                        A
If you're a threat to our national security
           E                             A
Well we're probably just in need of your oil


Spoken Verse:
A
How much fentanyl does Venezuela make
E
Well, Johnny, that's about 0%, see, China ships the precursors into Mexico
E                                                                                A
They mix them in a lab then they press them into pills and ship them up to Uncle Sam
A
Oh, well then how much cocaine does Venezuela produce
E
Well, Johnny, that's a goose egg too but don't you worry your little head
E
'Causez they're all just going to be like dead


Bridge 2:
D
Some call it murder, some call it justice
        A                    F#7
You can call it whatever you like
             B7
But dry your Liberal tears 'cause you know around here
          E
We call a presidentially authorized lethal kinetic strike
            E
Well, if it looks like Al-Qaeda and smells like ISIS
E
You're headed down the road for a refugee crisis

Well, they can dangle the Nobel carrot out in front of the mule
But I guess it wasn't orange enough to really pull the cart
Pete and Marco, come out of the closet and say you're coming on in for that oil deposit
The only war you'll ever end is the one you start
