Song Lyrics

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

Asia`s crowded and Europe`s too old

Africa is 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 got surfin`, too

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 will be

We`ll set everybody free

You`ll wear a Japanese kimono

And there`ll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow

So let`s drop the big one now

Let`s drop the big one now
