Bottle Rocket War Tonight!
We travel across the river where their still legal…
Whenever we gots the mood, whenever we gots the fever…
To blow things up…
To blow each other up, yeah…
Oh, daddy, there’s gonna be a bottle rocket war tonight!…
We know a place across the muddy Mississip…
That will sell fireworks to teens and beer to sip…
And guzzle…
And get wasted on and puke…
It’s all highly illegal, of course…
But we ain’t spooked…
Cause we got ourselves a plan…
Got ourselves a plan…
To stick it to the man… and get away with it…
Yeah, we know a secret place where we can go… Ho!…
A little bit of cheap beer… a little bit of weed…
A healthy dose of firepower to feed the need…
For excitement and danger…
To them we are no stranger…
We love them far more than baby Jesus in his manger…
The canal is just outside the city limits…
So the city cops, naw, they can’t get us…
Though there’s still the matter of the county and state…
But we can see them coming from miles around…
So we run, or hide and wait…
But let me tell you something…
Oh, now daddy daddy…
Come now daddy, please…
If I have to beg, be on my knees…
There’s gonna be…
Gonna be…
Oh, there’s gonna be a bottle rocket war tonight!…
Bottle Rocket!…
Bottle Rocket!…
Bottle Rocket!…
Bottle Rocket!…
Bottle Rocket!… yeah!…
In the middle of the railroad bridge…
Just fifty feet apart…
We’ll let slip the dogs of war…
With all of our hearts…
There ain’t no place to run to, no…
There ain’t no place to hide…
Unless you chicken out and surrender, darling…
And take the high dive…
Thirty feet down to the water…
That’s where you’ll have to go to avoid the slaughter…
Train sneaks up on us, we’ll all have to do the same…
Get a little wet, darling, ain’t it a shame…
Ahhhhhh…. ohhhhhh….
You can say anything, do anything you want…
But this I tell you, tonight we’re gonna haunt…
Our old stomping grounds out by the canal…
You can stay home with your parents…
Yeah, be all banal…
Or you can join us…
For a bottle rocket war tonight!…
