The world, despite little wars,
has never been as peaceful as it is today.
Now a new president is sorting out
who’s the enemy
and who gets to wear a white hat.
Appealing to peoples baser instinct,
a promise of less tax
and an ample supply of cheap liquid gold.
Drawbridges up!
Fortress USA.

Meanwhile the Palestinians keep on dying
in an enclave only fit for goats.
Undemocratic regimes are shored up
as long as they have got what matters most- oil
and vaguely promise orderly reform.
The planet is coughing, so what,
let’s together float down the river of oblivion,
the next generation isn’t us.
