You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible Hot pink, with whale-skin hubcaps An all-leather cow interior And big brown baby seal eyes for headlights, YEAH! And I’m gonna drive that thing at 115 miles per hour Getting one mile per gallon Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald’s In those old-fashioned, non-biodegradable styrofoam containers And when I’m done scarfing down those greaseball burgers I’m gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag And then I’m gonna toss that styrofoam container right out the side And there’s not a goddamn thing anyone can do about it Because we got the bomb, that’s why Two words: Nuclear fucking weapons, okay? ---
