I Got Them Old Weltschmertz Blues

Posted September 1, 2007

Quick! Somebody generate some Gemuetlichkeit!

Oh, the planet's getting warmer,
And the population's growing,
And the Mexicans just gave the door a knock.
The Canadians, our former
Allies now are malice showing,
And the Brits are pulling troops out of Iraq!

And the Chinese all are sending
Dog food flavored with lead paint,
And the German pope consigns us all to Hell!
Where will it all be ending?
Peace and harmony it ain't,
Oh, the world just isn't working very well!

Iranians are making missiles,
Aussies' skin is getting cancer,
And the New York Stock Exchange just went to Hell!
China's sending stern episcles,
I don't have a single answer,
And I'm not really feeling very well.
