"NUKE First, Ask Questions Later" - My 9/11 Memorial Song Written In 2001 On My GeoCities Site

In the hours and days following 9/11/2001, I was very serious about NUKING them damn Terrorists. I started writing a Song based on the last words of an e-mail I sent out on 9/11/2001. When I wrote this I was serious but I am glad we were able to kick their butts without the need for Nukes and with minimum American casualties.

Here is a re-print of the actual e-mail:

Subject: NUKE FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER!

I, Lenny Vasbinder, am sick and tired of all these little piss-ante third world countries or their wannabe leaders kicking USAround. I hereby call for complete and total annihilation of the capital cities of each and every country that harbors or fosters terrorism. I don't remember US talking to other world leaders before we NUKED Japan after they attacked US. I won't stop this battle cry until the USA stands up and starts kicking some towelhead ass.

NUKE FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER!

Based on those words I started writing some of the original lyrics which ultimately led to the following song.

NUKE FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER!

(Written by Lenny Vasbinder 09-12-2001 thru the end of 2001)

YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN OUR WORLD TRADE CENTER,

BUT AMERICA WILL SURVIVE_______.

OSAMA BIN LADEN, YOU BETTER START PRAYING,

CAUSE WERE COMING FOR YOU DEAD OR ALIVE__.


YOU GOT FOUR PLANES_, THE PENTAGON_,

AND THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS___.

BUT NOW YOU’RE HIDING OUT IN CAVES

WITH THE HELP OF THE TALIBAN___.


(chorus one)

IF YOU ARE A TERRORIST NATION,

YOU’RE GONNA FACE ANNIHILATION,

IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN HATER, WE’LL

NUKE FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER!

(b/g-NUKE FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER! repeat twice)


ALL YOU LITTLE TERRORIST PUNKS,

WE’VE BEEN TAKING YOUR CRAP FOR YEARS__,

BUT NOW YOU’VE PISSED AMERICA OFF

AND YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING TO FEAR___.


WE’LL SEIZE YOUR ASSETS, FREEZE ACCOUNTS,

CUT THE CASH FLOW TO YOUR CELLS__.

WE’LL LOCK THEM UP, THROW AWAY THE KEY,

WATCH ‘EM DIE AND GO TO HELL!___


(chorus two)

IF YOU ARE A TERRORIST LOVER,

YOU BETTER HIDE AND RUN FOR COVER.

IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN HATER, WE’LL,

NUKE FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER!

(b/g-NUKE FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER!...repeat twice)


WE MAY JUST KILL A MILLION AFGHANIS

AND THAT MIGHT BE A SIN___.

BUT AFTER WE LAUNCH A COUPLE OF NUKES,

THE TALIBAN WILL TURN YOU IN___.


(chorus one)

IF YOU ARE A TERRORIST NATION,

YOU’RE GONNA FACE ANNIHILATION,

IF YOU ARE A TERRORIST LOVER,

YOU BETTER HIDE AND RUN FOR COVER.

IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN HATER, WE’LL,

NUKE FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER!

(b/g-NUKE FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER!...repeat)


Dedicated to the victims of 9-11-2001 and all victims of Terrorism.

I hope that before we ever risk large numbers of American Military Men & Women, we will use strategic and tactical NUKES. Look at the number of American lives we saved when we NUKED Japan during WWII. That is why we did it then... and I'm all for using the same reasoning today!

If any band would like to hear this song for possible recording purposes, please feel free to e-mail me. The song as written has a rock or country rock sound to it.

Sincerely,

Lenny Vasbinder
