Should we drop the big one now?

Question

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.

Now Asia's crowded
And Europe's too old.
Africa's far too hot,
And Canada's too cold.
And 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've got surfing, too.

Well, boom goes London,
And boom Paris.
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'll be;
We'll set everybody free;
You'll have Japanese kimonos, baby,
There'll be Italian shoes
for me

They all hate us anyhow

Answer 1

Sail Away is still one of the greatest albums of all time. Political science rocks.

Answer 2

Nice, hate poetry. Maybe it will get you an award at the annual All-stupid American Festival.

I am American, love my country, and hate the image people like you give us. You honestly think we'd be fine if we used nukes on all the rest of the world? That would kill us too you know. Even if the Chinese and Russians didn't fire their nukes at us, we'd be wiped out from gloabla fallout and radiation levels. Unless you are a cockroach, this makes no sense.

Answer 3

Nah. Not really a good idea. Because we drop one, them we've got some ****** in North Korean dropping a few. Then China fires a few off, and Russia, then India, followed by Pakistan.

Not to be left out Iran joins the party, Israel and who the hell else has the bomb. And then, frankly, it would be a little too radioactive out to really enjoy surfing. Ya know???

I'd say no. But, I'm not adverse to carpet bombing a few places.

Answer 4

Don't you think
this is too rash?
Afterall, these places helped us
turn weird stuff into cash.

They may not like us
They may hate us in fact,
but it's still not enough
to lose all of our tact.

We're built on freedom
for one and all the same
if we blow them all up now,
it might be kinda lame

Because we need these people
believe it or not
we need their skills and abilities
it helps us out a lot.

So I say Embrace this time
in it's good and it's bad,
At least you get to talk about it,
Your still free, so you should be glad.

Answer 5

Its a really nice poem that i see you put alot of thought into. However are you really thinking about the people(innocent or not) that are involved?so the answers Ummm no. I don't think there is any reason to aggravate the situation even more. Why cant we just stay out of peoples business. Sometimes its better not to interfere.

Answer 6

The big one is not enough to go around so lets drop a bunch of little ones. Neutron bombs are anti personnel and leave infastructure intact with very little residual radiation.

Answer 7

You are a good poet - but in answer to your question....

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! I hope and pray that nobody ever "pushes the button" again. Unfortunately, I am beginning to think someone in the middle east will do so and the entire planet will be a bloodbath.

Answer 8

This is a Randy Newman song, no?

Gotta love him. I like you too because, judging by the answers, you fooled a lot of people.

These days, though, Randy might just suggest a Boomerang Big One.

Answer 9

Nice, I think we shouold too. But you forgot to put the first place that will go boom. and that is the worst county on earth, MEXICO. i had to do a 6 month report on stupid mexico so it deserves to go boom!

Answer 10

Great lyrics man
