the human race is crazy
as crazy as loons
or maybe crazy like foxes
dancing to happy tunes
roosevelt built the atomic bomb
a long time ago
or maybe it was hitler
i don’t really know
truman went to yalta
to give stalin his love
lucifer laughed in darkness
the angels wept above
the world was put in notice
by dr edward teller
marx and freud just laughed at him
because they were clever fellers
nixon was in the kitchen
baking an apple pie
the apples gave him a great big hand
then khruschev happened by
kennedy went to cuba
it is in the history books
castro was his daddy
but the ladies liked his looks
johnson wore a stetson hat
and drank whiskey from a glass
nixon rose up from the dead
but all things must pass
no one remembers agnew
though he fired the first shot
in the eternal culture wars
which now is all we’ve got
reagan had a great big smile
which stretched across the earth
the world is freed from bondage
but still awaits rebirth
who remembers osama bin laden
gorbachev or al gore?
humanity has its suitcase packed
but still stands on the shore
o children of the modern age
look back upon the past
for you will never know a world
where things were built to last
