[Chorus]
 ODhhh why don't we all just get stoned, 
get dGrunk and sing beer drinking sDongs
Between Breshneff and Fagan, KhomeDini and Ragen
We miA7ght as well all just gGet stoned.
[Verse 1]
DYou can't even look at T.V. these days
Without getting scared half to dA7eath
The eye witness news leaves me used and abused
I find myself gasping for bDreath
[Verse 2]
DThere's strikes and inflation and strife between nations
The worlds in a hell of a mGess
But no matter who's hurt'n there's Done thing for certain
The wA7hole world will blame the UD.S.
[Chorus]
 ODhhh why don't we all just get stoned, 
get dGrunk and sing beer drinking sDongs
Between Breshneff and Fagan, KhomeDini and Ragen
We miA7ght as well all just gGet stoned.
[Verse 3]
DThe Russians don't like us and we don't like them
The Israelis hate the AA7rabs
Iran and Iraq are on each others backs
and A7Al Salvador's still up for gDrabs
[Verse 4]
DI wish they'd take Eiddie, Ahlmene and Khomeini
and Kadofe and all of the rGest
Tie them all up to a chair and make them sDtare at Yasser Arafat
till he uA7gly'd the whole bunch to dDeath

NDow social security bA7ecomes an obscurity
A7Were the hells all the money we Dmade

RDeaganomics will break us, we dA7on't have a chance either Dway.
[Chorus]
 ODhhh why don't we all just get stoned,
