unpatriotic rotten doctor commie rats

carrie had a husband, carrie had a man
home in new york they do what they can
they used to want to change this whole world around
got a lot of opinions but they didn't know how
and their friends don't help 'cause their friends don't know
how to make a difference when change is so slow

now carrie's husband is a tv man
he writes all the scripts for the tv scam
carrie read a story in the new york times
'bout colombian rebels living in the sunshine
so she got her things, packed up her trunk
she hasn't had sex with mark in a month

she wants to go down spread her money around
she wants to go down underground
she wants to be a revolutionary
a guerrilla fighter in the bushes and the trees
she wants to go where she can do her best
she wants to go where change might come fast

carrie's doing great, carrie's doing fine
got a new man and another on the line
she feels confident and she feels so strong
now that she's learned how to fire a gun
and she carries her kalashnikov around with her
revels in the power that it infers

mark's pretty worried, he's such a good guy
he spends a lot of money on a private eye
he finds out where she's been and he's none too pleased
so he boards a plane flies over belize
he flies over nicaragua, over panama
lands in the jungle in colombia

he searches for days 'til he finds where she's hiding
comes to tell her that she's gotta quit trying
when they hear a plane fly through the sky
and a bomb falls out of its unmarked side
now carrie and mark's cold war is done
another revolution's been outrun

way back home, the c.i.a.
pat each other's back for a banner day
the director stands behind the buffet
opens his mouth wide to say:
"we gotta protect americans no matter what the cost
might be to them"
