Lucy in the Sky with Smart Bombs

Picture yourself in a great ancient city
With boulevard streets under fireworks skies.
Suddenly you feel somebody is watching...
A soldier with night vision eyes...
Explosive flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head.
Bullets fly by, you are hit in the hand,
And it`s gone!
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs,
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs,
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs!
Stumble along to a bridge by a fountain
Where body parts are scattered,
Where men drop like flies.
Children are screaming as you drift under fireballs
That rise so incredibly high.
People in humvees appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away,
They put a sack over your head, tie you up
And you`re gone!
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs,
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs,
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs!
Picture yourself in a surgical unit
With Plasticine nurses, where everyone cries.
Suddenly there is someone who is watching,
A soldier with night vision eyes.
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs,
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs,
Planes are in the sky with smart bombs!
