They're rioting in Africa

Remember this song, made famous by the Kingston Trio over 40 years ago? Seems like the words are still pretty much true, and they could probably add a couple of verses about the Middle East.

The Merry Minuet

________________________________________

They're rioting in Africa, They're starving in Spain
There's hurricanes in Florida, And Texas needs rain


This whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans, The Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much


But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For Man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we can be certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off...and we will all be blown away


They're rioting in Africa, There's strife in Iran
What Nature doesn't do to us will be done by our Fellow Man
