Crazy World
by John Hopkins
Man, it's a crazy world
The proof is everywhere,
A football star is killing dogs
And one pooch is a millionaire!
Don't know if I'm coming or going
Or whether to laugh or cry;
But I'm afraid to use a men's room
And give off signals to some guy!
Hurricanes and tidal waves
Crash against the shore,
And despite all the evidence
Bush says we'll win the war!
Oilmen pleading poverty
While, to our surprise,
Exxon posts record profits
Right before our eyes.
Temperatures are really high
Is it global warming?
I keep hearing 'bout killer bees
And northward they are swarming!
Some want to build a fence
Along the Mexican border
There's lead in our toys,
And pesticides in the water.
Man, it's a crazy world,
All so discombobulated;
Obesity is on the rise
The housing market deflated.
Do I vote for Hillary
Or should it be Obama?
And what is the difference
Between alpaca and a llama?
Pluto's not a planet
A meteor could strike earth
Everything is topsy turvy
But I guess it could be worse.
I could find myself in jail
Like Paris Hilton or Lohan,
I could find out the hard way
That Ru Paul is a man!
Yeah, it's a crazy world
But I like it because
Each day I get to share
A crazy little thing called love
