New World Order Rag

What's all this about the New World Order
When the rich get richer and the poor get poorer,
The tall get taller and the short get shorter?
What used to cost a nickle gonna cost you a quarter.

What's all this about free world leaders?
Even presidents have got to rob Paul to pay Peter,
And when it's time for choosin' up sides for a war,
You pick one dictator, two dictator, three dictator, four.

You say we'll never lose again like we did in Viet Nam.
Well, you must be confusing me with some one who gives a damn.

What's all this about this about actin' proud,
About walkin' all cocky and talkin' too loud?
You shoot 'em in the back, it's pretty hard to miss 'em,
'Specially when you use a smart weapons system.

What's all this about kind and gentle
When they dock your salary, and they raise your rental?
And don't you think it's maybe just a bit coincidental,
You say, "Make love not war," they're gonna call you sentimental?

You say you're feelin' good about yourself and Uncle Sam.
Well, you must be confusing me with some one who gives a damn.

What's all this about the hand gun lobby?
Don't you think it's just a bit expensive for a hobby?
You like your target practice, never mind the nitty gritty
Of children dyin' right and left within the inner city.

What's all this about sayin' the L word,
That those who ain't conservative are headed hellward?
But when it's time for rats to leave the sinkin' ship,
The first one to the bank is squeakin', "Read my lips."

You say you need some extra help with your financial jam.
Well, you must be confusing me with someone who give a damn.
