Lyrics
[Intro]
We should kill him
Would be thrilling
Just to kill him
[Chorus]
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
Let's beat the crap out of Saddam
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
And bomb Iraq to the ground
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
Let's beat the crap out of Saddam
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
And bomb Iraq to the ground
[Bridge]
Don't screw with the U.S.A
Don't screw with the U.S.A
[Verse]
Now if he does attack, we're gonna drop a stack
Of missiles on Iraq and get him off our back
And if he get rid of all this nerve gas
The U.S army's gonna kick him in the ass! (kick him in the ass!)
We should destroy, should destroy, that Iraqi boy
[Chorus]
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
Let's beat the crap out of Saddam
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
And bomb Iraq to the ground
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
Let's beat the crap out of Saddam
Let's hunt him down and shoot him in the head
And bomb Iraq to the ground
[Outro]
