Send in the drones!

Don't worry, we'll figure out all the little details later... But rest assured, we have no plans to execute any americans at this time.

Send in the drones (with apologies to Stephen Sondheim)

Isn't it rich?
look up in the air?
that surveillance airplane,
can fly anywhere.
Send in the drones.

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
A predator aircraft,
tracks every move.
Where are the drones?
Send in the drones.

What a surprise.
Who could foresee
A teflon coated missile 
pointed right square at me?
What a surprise.
What a cliché.
We quietly watched as they stole 
our rights away.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
That our liberal old president 
has left us all here.
And where are the drones?
Quick, send in the drones.
Don't bother - they're here.
