The Lyrics

Recently, a highly secret US RQ-170 Sentinel UAV was shot-down over Iran and is probably being studied by the Iranians who lack the engineering expertise to replicate its technology for a similar UAV. However, the Russians and Chinese will express intense interest in the spy UAV b/c they CAN duplicate the technology or incorporate its inner tech in their own designs. RQ-170s were first spotted in Afghanistan (then known only as the mysterious Beast of Kandahar) and then were used in the raid on Osama, jamming Paki radars for the Silent Hawk helo(s), one of which crashed into the compound and is also probably in Russian or Chinese hands by now!
It’s on the look-out
It has sensor eyes
A U.S. stealth scout
Iran was surprised
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly shot-down

CIA was pissed,
drone checking sites;
Marking targets to hit them just right
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly shot-down

Iran is now rejoicing
Due to U.S. big mistake
They’re gonna sell China the goods
US tech will be at stake

Lockheed black project built with black budget funds
The stealth Sentinel, it got the job done
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly shot-down

Iran is now rejoicing
Due to U.S. big mistake
They’re gonna sell China the goods
US tech will be at stake

It’s on the look-out
It has sensor eyes
A U.S. stealth scout
Iran was surprised
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly shot-down
Sentinel was sadly
Sentinel was sadly
Sentinel was sadly shot-down

(Sadly shot-down)

It's good news for Iran
Military display
For CIA it was shocking
To lose one in this way

(Sentinel was sadly shot-down)
(Sadly shot-down)
(Sentinel was sadly shot-down)
(Sadly shot-down)

No mentioning of X-Men found. Now your mutant power has been drained 111%.

TSB, this is the second or third time you have 1-bombed me on purpose. Reported. What is wrong with you? Especially since I have given you 5s? I work just as hard on my parodies as anyone else and take pride in the content. I am sorry that you feel the need to target someone for fun, especially when this site has been recently hit by a malicious 1-bomber named Phil. Or do you hate miltech, specifically? Even so, my pacing was good, so where's a 4 or 5 for that? And at Xmas too... sigh...

OMR, off this site I am known worldwide for my Third Reich materials, especially weapon systems and aircraft. I love military everything and have written on everybody's stuff, not just German. TY for your interest. I admire the people here that do the really hilarious off-the-wall stuff. I can be humorous too, but my humor is often dark, morbid. I love your political material OMR, so keep writing too :)

I was definitely not the 1 bomber

Good one. I don't think it's very nice of them to shoot our sentinel down like that.

Your military knowledge is quite amazing

Porfle, it was over their airspace at the time! Anyway, missed your song(s) today. Hope you will be back tomorrow. And AFW, TY. It's a long story, but I grew-up with my dad doing Intel and met some ATS people, saw some things others never will, been to test facilities, fired a ton of weapons, and accumulated knowledge of Third Reich material. I am one of only a few writers that have ever tried to write on German disc craft and Foo Fighters (4 German designations actually) of WW2 since 1955. But I also write about aviation a lot too and obscure things. Am fascinated by the little-known or unknown.

Oh, airspace, hairspace. Sorry I've been inactive--other stuff has started piling up again.
