Where will you be
       twenty twenty
          I've got news for
     you aplenty

Leave me alone let
me pilot my drone
          let me fire my missles
       in a no fly zone
     I don't need your permission
   to release ammunition
 You might as well leave if
you're looking for contrition

Rifle Rifle—wait for it wait for it
  Trifle Trifle—everything's legit
    Eyeful Eyeful—never can forget
  Look out! I strike without warning
Splash! Try again tomorrow morning

          Liar Liar
       tongues on fire
          can't put out the
     forest fire

Leave me alone let
me pilot my drone
          let me drop my ordnance
       in a no fly zone
    I don't need your permission
  to release ammunition
 Get in my crosshairs
You'll be headed to perdition

Rifle Rifle—wait for it wait for it
  Trifle Trifle—everything's legit
    Eyeful Eyeful—never can forget
  Look out! I strike without warning
Splash! Try again tomorrow morning

Leave me alone let
me pilot my drone
          let me fire my missles
       in a no fly zone
    Here's the facts hard cold
  if I may be so bold
 if you really want to win
you'll have to wait till I get old

          One step forwards
       two steps backwards
          Once released you
     can't take back words

I checked out both the animated and live videos. Scary progression and we're already there. Yikes! You rock, Maureen! ~Mark
