Bombs Away

The Police · The 50 Greatest Songs [2009]

The general scratches his belly and thinks

His pay is good but his officers stink

Guerilla girl, hard and sweet

A military man would love to meet



The President looks in the mirror and speaks

His shirts are clean but his country reeks

Unpaid bills, Afghanistan hills



Bombs away, but we're okay

Bombs away in old Bombay



The general only wants to teach France to dance

His army life doesn't give him any romance

Guerilla girl, hard and sweet

A military man would love to meet



The general scratches his belly and thinks

His pay is good but his company stinks

Guerilla girl, hard and sweet

A military man would love to meet



Bombs away, but we're okay

Bombs away in old Bombay



Bombs away, but we're okay

Bombs away in old Bombay

Bombs away, but we're okay

Bombs away in old Bombay

Bombs away, but we're okay

Bombs away in old Bombay
