Bombing Them Softly
(sung to "Killing Me Softly")

(CHORUS)
Em Am D7 G
Sending the pain from our coalition. dropping our bombs with war words.
G A D C
Killing them softly with our bombs. Killing them softly with our bombs.
G C
Showing my whole world with our bombs.
Esus4 E
Killing them softly with our bombs.

Am7 D
I heard they sang the war song.
G C
The President can say "kill" with a smile.
Am7 D
And so let's invade this country,
Em
and kill them for a while.
Am7 D7
And there were many young girls and boys
G B7
a stranger to our eyes.

(CHORUS)

We felt all flushed with war fever
not embarrassed by protesting crowds.
We dropped the Daisy Cutters
and could see them scream out loud.
We prayed that they'd be finished
but they just kept right on dying.

(CHORUS)

They were fried as we watched TV
in all their dark despair.
And then they looked right through us
as if we didn't care.
And we just kept on bombing
as if nothing was wrong
