Axes of Evil
Axes like chop chop felling old growth?
Or Axis like Hitler (when we cant say Hitler)?
And Evil like Knievil? Or Evil Empire evil?
Maybe evil like an apple full of tacks
or a river full of PCBs.
Maybe we should nuke'em just to be safe,
or sell their real estate to each other
and wage a war of repossession.
Anyway, we need to teach them a lesson:
some toys are only for Big Boys,
got it? Kiddies neednt try to hang.
Threat? No threat! I was only saying
maybe somebody could get hurt
hanging around with those off-coloreds.
They dont know when to pay up and shut up
and when to lay down.
I wonder what its like
to live on an evil axe?
Why dont those fancy-pants
investigative journalists
interview the crazed peasantry,
the man selling cabbages in Baghdad,
the Korean woman winnowing rice,
or the tea shop clerk in Tehran,
and ask em if theyve stopped being terrorists
askem if theyve seen Osama Bin Lauden
cause Im looking for that sonofabitch
and I bet I know where to find him.
