bom bom bom Lyrics
We're gonna wake this city tonight
Oh, watch it burn into the twilight
I said, hey, hey hey this is our birthright
To be bought and sold, shipped off ready to die
We're ready to fight
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
I can't drink but drive a tank at nineteen
So I set off to join the U.S. Army
The first time I left my country
I felt the desert sand marchin' under my feet.
Come march with me
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
Shake it...
I said
No NYC, Los Angeles
No St. Louis, no New Orleans
No you and me, no you and me, no sympathy
Cause we're gonna bring them, bring them to their knees
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
Shake it...
Oh, watch it burn into the twilight
I said, hey, hey hey this is our birthright
To be bought and sold, shipped off ready to die
We're ready to fight
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
So I set off to join the U.S. Army
The first time I left my country
I felt the desert sand marchin' under my feet.
Come march with me
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
Shake it...
No NYC, Los Angeles
No St. Louis, no New Orleans
No you and me, no you and me, no sympathy
Cause we're gonna bring them, bring them to their knees
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna bom bom bom
Bom bom away bom
bom bom, bom bom
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
We're gonna take this city tonight
We're gonna shake this city till broad daylight
Shake it...

wow im the only one to comment! alright! good for me! i like this band theyre good i like the message theyre sending out the songs pretty self explanitory
The video is trippy but kool. It goes well with the music. But the lyrics make them sound like a bunch of whiny liberals (don't get me wrong, conservatives suck equally as much). It would sound better if Rage Against the Machine were singing the lyrics.
This song has quite the political message. Basically it's about wat, and how as Americans We're entitled to a death for our country, I'm pretty sure its sarchastic, but it's still a great song. It's got quite a disco feel, if you watch the video.
war** not wat, war
Either this song is literal, or it's a low blow to American culture. It depends on what the band says about it first. To me, the music of the song is awesome, but if the lyrics are literal...I could care less about the song.
I love the sarcastic anti-war lyrics, great song.
I'm kinda sick of all these songs having political meanings, but I can't help but sing & dance to this one.
Again it's up to interpretation, I'll take their anti-war song and I'll make it my battle song.
Sounds like exaggerated satire directed at the American look on war.
There's also the line on how you're allowed to drive a tank before you're allowed to drink. =P
Nice beat too.
It's a catchy song, too bad they're talking about war... since someone I know died in war. It's a little depressing.
