Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Iraq, Iran: one little letter spelling mistake )
OOPS, WE BOMBED THE WRONG COUNTRY
Copyright © 2004 - mickterry.com

1: Just one little letter. That's all that it was.
It's easy to make that mistake.
We'll try to do better. We all have our flaws
and spelling's not where we got "A"'s.
Just one little letter. It's really their fault
for naming their countries so close.
But, they should feel better, if they're thinking at all.
We could have demolished them both.

CHORUS:
Oops, we bombed the wrong country.
Can't believe that we did it again.
We'll make it appear like it's no big thing.
We all make mistakes now and then.
Oops, we bombed the wrong country.
Should have been some other group of bad guys.
But should they protest we killed mothers and kids,
we'll claim it's just more of their lies.

2: Now, don't you feel comfy just knowing we're safe
from all of those terrorist jerks?
We should make their country our fifty-first state.
They've seen how democracy works.
Now don't you feel comfy we've leveled their world?
They must be so happy to see
our jets and our choppers, our flags all unfurled,
our soldiers patrolling their streets.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Shouldn't we stop? Aren't we making more martyrs?
Shouldn't we stop? Who'd we go there to save?
I keep getting this feeling like I have been had.
I keep getting this feeling like something's gone bad.
I keep getting this feeling the whole world is mad
at our grand old U.S. of A.
CHORUS:

After having destroyed the military, government & country of Iraq,
it is determined that our intelligence was faulty.
It was Iran, not Iraq, that had ties to Al Qaeda.
Oops.
