[Verse 1]
You cDan't even look at the TV these days, Without getting scared half to deAath. The eyAewitness news leaves you used and abused, And I find myself gasping for brDeath. There's stDrikes and inflation, And sDtrife between nations, The world's in a hell of a meGss. No maGtter who's hurting, There's oDne thing for certain, The wAhole world will blame the UDS.
[Chorus]
AOooooohhh WDhy don't we all just get stoned, Get drGunk and sing beer-drinking soDngs. Between BreGzhnev and Begin, KhoDmeini and Reagan, We mAight as well all just get stoGned. D
[Verse 2]
The RuDssians don't like us, and we don't like them. The Israelis hate the ArAabs. IrAan and Iraq are on each other's back, And El Salvador's still up for grDabs. I wDish they'd take Idi Amin and Khomeini And Khadafi and all of the rGest, Tie 'em Gall up to a chair, And make 'em sDtare at Yasser Arafat, ‘Til he ugAlies the whole bunch to deDath.
[Chorus]
AOooooohhh WDhy don't we all just get stoned, Get drGunk and sing beer-drinking soDngs. Between BreGzhnev and Begin, KhoDmeini and Reagan, We mAight as well all just get stoGned. D
EWhat about cleaning up our own backyard?
[Verse 3]
There's mEass unemployment, and crime in the streets, Inflation gets worse everyBday, If the coBmmies don't take us, Reagonomics wll break us We ain't got a chance either Eway But AmeEricans are rumored to have a good sense of humor We can laugh when we're put to the tAest And if we aAll stick together, ain't a stEorm we can't weather We'll rBbide this one out like the rEest
[Chorus]
BOooooohhhhhh WEhy don't we all just get stoned, Get dArunk and sing beer-drinking soEngs. Between BrAezhnev and Begin, KhoEmeini and Reagan, We mBight as well all just get stEoned.
AOhhh ohhh ohhh stEoned
