\nThey’re starving in Spain.
\nThere’s hurricanes in Florida,
\nAnd Texas needs rain
\nThe whole world is festering
\nWith unhappy souls.
\nThe French hate the Germans,
\nThe Germans hate the Poles;
\nItalians hate Yugoslavs,
\nSouth Africans hate the Dutch,
\nAnd I don’t like anybody very much!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nAnd “thankfill” and proud,
\nFor man’s been endowed
\nWith a mushroom-shaped cloud.
\nAnd we know for certain
\nThat some lovely day
\nSomeone will set the spark off,
\nAnd we will all be blown away!<\/p>\n
\nThere’s strife in Iran.
\nWhat nature doesn’t do to us
\nWill be done by our fellow man<\/p>\n
