lyrics

Kim Jong Un just nuked the Moon for a leg up in the arms race
His speech was proud while the mushroom cloud went spilling into space
He said, "Now everyone will know and fear the strength of North Korea!"
And a rain came down as his people bowed to their triumphant leader

The United Nations had lost their patience and met that afternoon
They hotly told Kim, "What the fuck? You can't just nuke the Moon!"
He said, "The US has been testing nukes from the desert to the sea.
All I did was nuke the Moon, so why you mad at me?"

Donald Trump got roarin drunk and was meeting with his cabinet
He said, "That Moon is ours, it's been ours ever since we stuck the flag in it.
This right here's an act of war, so send out the platoons.
I'm the king of the U.S.A., nobody nukes my Moon!"

So people stared while the airwaves blared, "Attack on our home soil!"
Scripts written by the monoliths of banks and guns and oil
Soon everybody wanted war, and the drones and missiles flew
Straight towards North Korea, and the man who nuked the Moon

Well if you've seen a bar room brawl, you know what happens next
Big man hits big talker, and each of them's got friends
Kim jong un's still reeling after Donald's upper cut
When Xi Jin Ping steps between and says, "Whoa guys, break it up!"

But Trump just swings his tiny fist and catches Xi Ping in the nose
So Putin dawns brass knuckles and he says, "Come at me, bro."
al-Baghdadi breaks a bottle and he rams it up Trump's ass
He yelps for help but NATO says, "You didn't have our back."

Then May attempts to stop the beating, because Trump is bleeding desperate
But Merkel's pissed about the Brexit, and strangles her with her own necklace
Putin's poised for the knockout punch when Trump sends the bombs to blastin
One atom splits, sets off an atomic chain reaction

I watch this madness from the trenches, and I know I'll be dead soon
Everyone nuked everyone cuz someone nuked the Moon
And now that Moon is looking down while the Earth below it burns
I hear it sigh and ask the Sun, "Will people ever learn?"

And now that Moon is looking down while the Earth below it burns
I hear it sigh and ask the Sun, "Will people ever learn?"
