Our weapons ma-a–kers

sell to all ta–a–kers.

We love wars worldwide

We sell to evry side.

We’re in wars ev’rywhere

That’s how our cor-p’rate shares

keep climbing hi–i–i–gh(long pause)

like mis-siles in the sky!

Our pol-i-ti-i-shuns

are fund-ed by mun-i-i-tions.

There exists no debate

they cannot escalate!

Ne-go-ti-a-tions

a-mong the na-tions

is rarely tri–i–ed

’til thou-sands have died!

So with Ukrai–ai–aine

we once a-gai-ai–ain

saw two old white men

in a faceoff yet a-gin!

Joe could have said we

would dis-arm two lov-ly

U-nited States nu–u–ukes

if Putin pulled all troops.

That would leave plen-ty of

nukes if push comes to shove.

We could still blow away

slower & very distinctly….

all life in just one day.

But Joe couldn’t re-sist

us-ing the cri-sis

to make sure he cou–ou–ld

dis-play his man-hood!

Now Putin’s lit the fuse

to place nukes in Bel-arus.

Will male ego g–a–ames

end the world in fla–ames?

much slower…..

More women lead-ers,

less male chest beat-ers,

pub-lic-funded pol-itics

very slow & distinct…..

THESE…. ARE…. THE…. FIX!
