In your mom's station wagon behind the Seven Eleven

Well I'm bored with the Contras & Colonel Qadhaffi 
The Ayatollah's dead but he made me some coffee 
With my rifle in my arms I feel lke E.F Hutton 
I want to be the one who gets to push the final button 

May your uncle rest well in his cell tonight 
I never liked him much but he took me down to Ti-a-juana 
We drank some slammers & watched your mom dance 
At the Bambi Club 
But I was so bored so I prayed to the lord 
Ha! give me a war 
'Cause I'm so bored & I want more 
& a real fuckin war
