We're shocked to death at India, | We dream of peace most every night |
enraged at Pakistan | We talk of peace each day |
So we're told Arthur Goldberg | And we have learned a little game |
to denounce them, man to man | we'll teach you how to play |
| |
There in the UN's sacred hells | Now which hand holds the olive branch |
we've rained a mighty fuss | and which hand holds the bomb |
Cease Fire, we tell all nations | you guessed that this one offers peace |
that means everyone but us. | and that one drops napalm |
| |
And we'll honor our commitment | And we'll honor our commitment |
honor our committment | honor our committment |
Even if the world goes up | Even if the world goes up |
in a smoke of a mushroom cloud | in a smoke of a mushroom cloud |

Get buried with our brothers | Get buried with our brothers |
in one great communal shroud | in one great communal shroud |

These Latin revolutions, now, | You marching intellectuals |
we watch 'em like a bask | you poets and you priests |
And when we try to lend a hand | you mothers with your babes in arms |
we can't an why they squawk | you long-haired bearded beasts(?) |
| |
If only those Dominicans | It's alright when you talk of beauty |
would follow in our trade | love and all of that crap (?) |
Then soldiers wouldn't feel obliged | but when it comes to life and death |
to shoot them in the back | you'd better shut your trap |
| |
And we'll honor our commitment | And we'll honor our commitment |
honor our commitment | honor our commitment |
Even if the world goes up | Even if the world goes up |
in a smoke of a mushroom cloud | in a smoke of a mushroom cloud |
| |
And we'll honor our commitment | Honor our commitment |
honor our commitment | honor our commitment |
Get buried with our brothers | Get buried with our brothers |
in one great communal shroud | in one great communal shroud |
