They’re rioting in Washington
La, la-la-la-la la lah.
There’s war in Ukraine
La, la-la-la-la lah.
There’s Fascism in Florida
La, la-la-la-la la lah
And the southwest needs rain.
The whole world is festering
With unhappy souls.
The French hate each other,
Israelis hate the Poles.
The Serbs hate the Yugoslavs,
South Africans hate the Dutch,
And I don’t like anybody very much.
But we can be tranquil
And thankful and proud
That we’ve been endowed
With a mushroom-shaped cloud.
And we know for certain
That some happy day
Putin will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away.
They’re rioting in Oregon,
La, la-la-la-la lah
Jihad in Iran,
La, la-la-la-lah
What nature doesn’t do to us,
La, la-la-la-la la lah
Will be done by our fellow man.
