The world’s in  a hell of  a mess.
7   7  7    7    7  -7
No matter who’s hurtin’,
-6       6    -6   6   5  -4
There’s one thing for certain,

The whole world will blame the U.S.

And El Salvador’s still up for grabs.

I wish they’d take Idi Amin and Khomeini
6    6 6 6  -6   7  -7  -6   6
And Khadafi and all of the rest,
7   7   7  7  7   7
Tie’em all to a chair,
6    6   6    6   -6  6 -6  6 -5 5
And make’em stare at Yasser Arafat,
5    -5 -5 -5  -5   -5     5   -4   4
‘Til he uglies the whole bunch to death.

Inflation gets worse everyday,

They take most my paycheck away.
6    6  6  6 6 -5 5
Now Social Security
5   -5  6  6  6 6 -5 5
Has become an obscurity,
