Randy Newman

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's too cold
	South America stole our name
	Let's drop the big one
	There'll be no one left to blame us

	We'll save Australia
	Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
	We'll build an All American amusement park there
	They got surfin', 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, babe
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

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

- Randy Newman
