Story Behind The Song
Thumbing our noses at the narcissism and arrogance of those who consume vast amounts of resources while spewing vast amounts of pollutants with their "personal driving machines." Why not rock out and laugh with the message???

Poking fun at the "Little Toy Soldiers & Shopping Maul Mercenaries" who cruise town in behemoth "Off-Road Vehicles" that never go off-road. I've always wanted to play soldier with the machos in their Scummers just like in Iraqistan -- let em have it with

Lyrics
G Am
Little toy soldiers
G Am
And shopping maul mercenaries
G Am
Pillaging in Scummers
G Am
And Ess-Huge-Vees
G Am
It's all for your kids
G Am
So what do you care
G Am
Bout a livable climate
G Am
Or breathable air
Am C
Hey there Soldier Boy
C Em Am
Just how small is it
Am
Need such a massive toy
C Em Am
To make you feel big
Am C
Wanna play army
Em Am
I'll play too
Am C
I've got an RPG
Em Am
Just for you!
CHORUS
Scuse me Soccer Mom
Creeping slowly over
Hostile speed bump
In your chic Lard Rover
Precious progeny
Sealed inside
With gasoline gluttony
Takin a ride
CHORUS
Dm Am
Cattletrack Escalaters
Florid Engorgers
Stinkin Narlygators
And so many more
Fully loaded
Everything you need
Inflatable ego
And your own oil sheik
A flag and a ribbon
Make it all Okay
Cuz you're on a mission
For the U S of A!
CHORUS
Little toy soldiers
And shopping maul mercenaries
What do you care?
What do you care?
