Lyrics du jour


      Political Science

      No one likes us - I don't know why
      We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
      But all around even our old friends put us down
      Let's drop the big one and see what happens

      We give them money - But are they grateful
      No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
      They don't respect us - so let's surprise them
      We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

      Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
      Africa is far too hot
      And Canada is too cold
      And South America stole our name
      Let's drop the big one
      There'll be no one to blame us

      We'll save Australia
      Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
      We'll build an all American amusement park there
      They got surfing too

      Boom goes London and boom Paree
      More room for you and more room for me
      And every city the whole world round
      Will just be another American town
      Oh how peaceful it will be
      We'll set everybody free
      You'll wear a Japanese kimono
      And there'll be Italian shoes for me

      They all hate us any how
      So let's drop the big one now
      Let's drop the big one now
