They're rioting in Africa
They're starvin' in Spain
(Got it?)
There's hurricanes in Florida (Florida)
And Texas needs rain (Texas needs rain)
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much!
Oh, we can be thankful and tranquil and and proud
Man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we can be certain that some lucky day
Someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away
[Spoken words by Al Jardine]
[Now everybody!]
[Here's a new section, a new verse]
There's strife in southeast Asia (and Afghan)
And Afganistan (and south Pakistan)
The Persian Gulf's in chaos (chaos)
Watch out, Pakistan
They speak with such eloquence of peace at the U.N.
While soldiers are marchin' on all of our true friends
The Russians are a menace
The Ayatollah is a shit
[Spoken words by Al Jardine and Mike Love]
[Aw, Michael, how could you?]
[All right, that kind've slipped out! Excuse me]
[I'd say that's pretty appropriate myself]
With any luck, they might do each other in
