Wasn't there an old song by the POLICE called "Bombs away in old Bombay"?

Question

How Ironic is THAT??

Should they ban the song now, or what?

Yes, there was. But there are a lot of songs that describe occurances and historical connections. Check out the link.

And No, no song should be banned any more than any speech should be censored by anything but common sense (like yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater).

Bombs Away - Police Written by Stewart Copeland

The general scratches his belly and thinks

His pay is good but his officers stink

Guerilla girl, hard and sweet

A military man would love to meet

The President looks in the mirror and speaks

His shirts are clean but his country reeks

Unpaid bills, in Afghanistan hills

Bombs away

But we're O.K.

Bombs away

In old Bombay

The general only wants to teach France to dance

His army life doesn't give him any romance

Guerilla girl, hard and sweet

A military man would love to meet

The general scratches his belly and thinks

His pay is good but his company stinks

Guerilla girl, hard and sweet

A military man would love to meet

Bombs away

But we're O.K.
