[jragan2001]

Actually "I Love LA" in my view was his best hit to date,
though I understand this has nothing to do with the thread
like "short people".

Yet, this particular one has a Nostradamus like quality...:)

Political Science


No one likes us - I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens


We give them money - But are they grateful
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us - so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them


Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada is too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one to blame us


We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an all American amusement park there
They got surfing too


Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me


They all hate us any how
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
