Slim Pickens Does the Right Thing and Rides the Bomb to Hell Lyrics
Take me for a ride
I'm the one you pushed aside
But it's coming back to you
Yeah it's coming back to you -hey!
Run to the sound
Take it back and double down
'cause it's coming back to you
Yeah it's coming back to you
Well
Ah-ah-ah well we're pouring gasoline
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
Ah-ah-ah it'll never be the same, now
'cause there's nothing left for us to be
Give it up the champions of greed
So come around and have another round on me
Dance fucker dance, let the motherfucker burn -hey!
Snake's in the grass while you are living in the past
Say what're you gonna do?
Yeah what're you gonna do? -hey!
Earn never learn
When you're cheering while it burns
Yeah we're coming after you
Yeah we're coming after you -hey!
Slim Pickens well he does the right thing
And he rides the bomb to hell
Yeah he rides the bomb to hell
Watch the pulse, it quickens after every little sting
If you're gonna go to hell
Drinking up you might as well
Are you really gonna take it like that?
Riding on a missile with a cowboy hat, and
Ah-ah-ah well the world is gonna end
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
Ah-ah-ah wanna tear it down again, now
'cause there's nothing left for us to be
Give it up the sons of anarchy
So come around and have another round on me
Dance fucker dance, let the motherfucker burn! -hey!
Are you really gonna take it like that?
Riding on the missile with the baseball bat, and
Ah-ah-ah well we're pouring gasoline
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
Ah-ah-ah it'll never be the same
The takers and the liars that we all believed in
Ah-ah-ah well we're going down in flames
So dance around the fire
We dance around the fire
'cause it's never left for us to be
Give it up the champions of grief
So come around and have another round on me
Hey! -hey!
Dance fucker dance, let the motherfucker burn! -hey!
I'm the one you pushed aside
But it's coming back to you
Yeah it's coming back to you -hey!
Take it back and double down
'cause it's coming back to you
Yeah it's coming back to you
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
'cause there's nothing left for us to be
Give it up the champions of greed
So come around and have another round on me
Say what're you gonna do?
Yeah what're you gonna do? -hey!
When you're cheering while it burns
Yeah we're coming after you
Yeah we're coming after you -hey!
And he rides the bomb to hell
Yeah he rides the bomb to hell
If you're gonna go to hell
Drinking up you might as well
Riding on a missile with a cowboy hat, and
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
'cause there's nothing left for us to be
Give it up the sons of anarchy
So come around and have another round on me
Riding on the missile with the baseball bat, and
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
The takers and the liars that we all believed in
So dance around the fire
We dance around the fire
Give it up the champions of grief
So come around and have another round on me

Anyone who saw "Dr Strangelove" should remember Slim Pickens' riding of the bomb. I don't want to include more details in order not to spoil the movie.
However, just as Slim's character in the movie, lots of people (I guess they mean Americans, mostly) follow their leaders convinced that they're doing the right thing and proud of it, not realizing that they're working against themselves...
