Hey old Saddam, you figured wrong
A E
When you thought the whole world would back down,
A D
And let you take all the oil and rape Kuwait and plunder and spoil.
A E
Let sleeping dogs lie,
A
Don't give us a reason.
A D
'Cause people in the USA are not really afraid,
A E
Of your starving army and all your wore out tanks.
A D
And if you take some innocent lives, that's when the fur's gonna really fly,
A E
Hey man, back off and get smart,
A
Don't give us a reason.
D A
Don't give us a reason to come gunnin' for you,
'Cause the odds don't look so good,
B7 E
And your neck is in a noose.
A D
'Cause the Eagle and the Bear make a mighty strong pair,
F#m
And my advice is:
E A
Don't give us a reason.
A D
When all our people over there know that we all care,
A E
Now that's a situation old Saddam, you don't wanna be in...
A
'Cause if you do something stupid,
D
We're gonna come down hard on ol' Cupid (??)
A E
You better think this one all the way out,
A
Don't give us a reason.
D A
Don't give us a reason to come gunnin' for you,
'Cause the odds don't look so good,
B7 E
And your neck is in a noose.
A D
Yeah, you picked on your little neighbour, so do yourself a favour:
F#m E
Get out and go home,
A
And don't give us a reason.
A D
Yeah, we've heard all your threats, and you're gonna threat yourself to death.
A E A
My advice is, don't give us a reason.
D
You can take that poison gas, and stick it in your sassafras,
A E A
Ha ha ha, don't give us a reason.
D
I'd like to find out just for fun, just how fast those camels can run,
A E A
I tell ya son, don't give us a reason.
D
'Cause the desert ain't Vietnam, and there ain't nowhere to run,
A
And we got some REAL top guns,
E A
Don't give us a reason.
