I heard the news late evening on May 1st. US Special Operations put a bullet in the dome of public enemy number 1. It's A Great Day To Be American!

lyrics

it was back in oh one when it all began
they cold cocked our face and then they cold ran
We started hunting both far and wide
those cowards thought the hills was a place they could hide
They all played house in some dark ol caves
well that ain't how civilized men behave
One by one we send them back to hell
every time we do Freedom rings her bell

So let me hear you cheer just as loud as you can
Its a great day to be American

Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American

I was heading home early on Sunday eve
When I heard some news that I couldn't believe
POTUS was talking 'bout a firefight
that took out OBL in the dead of night
We kept our promise to hunt him down
Now we're gonna plant that jerk right in the ground
and anyone who showed him loyalty
are gonna end up like a big ol' hunk of swiss cheese

So let me hear you cheer just as loud as you can
Its a great day to be American

Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American

I must confess that when abroad my country has caused me a little grief
but I never claimed to be something else or decorate my stuff with some maple leafs

so to the special operator that put a round in his dome
I want to buy your team some beers the minute you get home
its like the Superbowl and Nascar title rolled into one
we know you'll keep those bastards scared on the run
To the boys and girls serving far from home
We're all behind you you are not alone
Our prayers are with you what more can I say
than God bless the armed forces of the USA

So let me hear you cheer just as loud as you can
Its a great day to be an American

Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
