Quick stagger through global insanity.
No one's got this thing quite right,
yeah, we've all got it wrong.
Some of us are playing tight,
some are going long.

We Brits think being ugly,
protects us from the wrath.
The US thinks it's world police,
prevent the aftermath.

Japan, they kill the dolphins,
when they're conscious just like us.
Europe? Well, they're just confused,
too many opinions on that bus.

Most countries are a bit racist,
when really they're just scared.
The Aussies get the Abos pissed,
but they were well prepared.

The Buddhists are really convinced,
they made all of this up.
They think our minds are totally minced,
when we keep drinking from the cup.

Masonic couples sell both their souls
to get a tasty wad of cash.
They think their castle's made of gold,
when it fell out Buddhas ass!

Africa just tolerates
the rape of its fair land
They think it is the other states
but it's the fault of their own hand.

Why? I seem to hear you cry,
I'm guessing but there's aggro,
the ladies ate up all the power,
and left their men quite hollow.

But one thing that you just don't do,
that's subjugate your women.
And that is why the Middle East's
the one that isn't singing.

So, really we should step away.
Their problems are too large.
We'll never win in that affray,
just leave them to their barge.

We don't need oil,
we don't need war.
Let's get out of that mess,
I'm begging you
you're causing me
way, way much
more than stress.

Where do I get this junk from?
I guess I thought too much.
I'm just an accidental son,
that needs a lighter touch.

Keep playing at this stupid game,
and you'll just hurt yourselves.
I've looped for long enough. For shame!
You held me on the shelves.

Times, they are a changing,
with your belief, or without.
I'd rather we moved soft than bring,
a fatal demon's shout.
