Why don't we all just get stoned,
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
Khomeini and Reagan,
We might as well all just get stoooned.
You can't even look at the T V these days,
Without gettin' scared half to death.
The eyewitness news leaves me used and abused,
And I find myself gasping for breath.
There's strikes and inflation,
And strife between nations,
The world's in a hell of a mess.
No matter who's hurtin',
There's one thing for certain,
The whole world will blame the U.S.
Why don't we all just get stoned, (get drunk)
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
Khomeini and Reagan,
We might as well all just get stoooned.
The Russians don't like us,
And we don't like them.
The Israelis hate the Arabs.
I-ran and I-raq are on each other's back,
And El Salvador's still up for grabs.
I wish they'd take Idi Amin and Khomeini
And Khadafi and all of the rest,
Tie'em all to a chair,
And make'em stare at Yasser Arafat,
‘Til he uglies the whole bunch to death.
Why don't we all just get stoned, (get drunk)
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
Khomeini and Reagan,
We might as well all just get stoooned.
There's mass unemployment,
And crime in the streets,
Inflation gets worse everyday,
They're taxin' us maximum,
And Congress ain't ax-in'em.
They take most my paycheck away.
Now Social Security
Has become an obscurity,
Where the hell's all the money we paid?
Lord, if the Commie's don't take us,
Reaganomics will break us,
We ain't got a chance either way.
Why don't we all just get stoned, (get drunk)
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
Khomeini and Reagan,
We might as well all just get stoooned.
