I was down in Southern Watch flying my F-16 When lead called for the picture and AWACS came back "clean" I saw a contact on my scope and it was running hot Although I wasn't targeted I went ahead and shot Now I never even noticed that my nose was pointed east And that Iranian fighter pilot was surprised to say the least I tried to take it back but by then it was too late And a million angry Arabs started heading for Kuwait
Chorus So here's to you fighter pilots, victors of the war That got us all this real estate that's backed up to the shore Now oil's a buck a barrel and it's all because of me 'Cause I'm the motherfucker who started World War III
Well you knew the fucking French would have to get into the mess American audacity it had to be addressed So they sent their fighters to the sky but it was all in vain As they sought asylum in the American commonwealth of Spain So the English crossed the channel and it was a sight to see When the queen dropped down her trouser and she shit on Normandy And if you think we were happy when we drank all of their wine You should have seen the Polacks when they got to cross the Rhine
So here's to you fighter pilots, victors of the war That got us all this real estate that's backed up to the shore Now they whistle Dixie in the streets of gay Paris 'Cause I'm the motherfucker who started World War III
The Chinese threatened action when we overran Saigon Then a thousand drunken frat boys had to moon them from Taiwan But the bombing of the embassy in Moscow broke the ice Now that was just an accident and it happened only twice So they launched their MiGs two by two never to return No matter how much we shot 'em down they never seemed to learn Their suicidal bravery made us feel bad for them So on Tuesdays it was heaters only, Wednesday BFM
So here's to you fighter pilots, victors of the war That got us all this real estate that's backed up to the shore Now China's just a word that you read in history 'Cause I'm the motherfucker who started World War III
